A member asked:
Sir i use hair fin 1mg medicine finasteride since 3 month continously but my top head crown area not covered with hair so i can use 5mg daily yes no?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Finesteride: I would not recommend the 5mg dose because of undesirable side effects for a young male. You could try applying minoxidil (rogaine)directly to your head in order to grow some hair on your crown. Discuss this with your physician.
