What lead to temple recession in young age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Male pattern baldnes: I suspect that you're referring to male pattern baldness which is due to a combination of genetics & hormones. Check out http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001177.htm. Then go see your Family Doc who may refer you to Dermatologist or Hair specialist. In meantime, you can try OTC minoxidl but finasteride requires prescription (it's FDA pregnancy category X).
