Dr. Susanne Gee answered

Specializes in Dermatology

See below: There are several prescription medications that treat this condition. Probably the best known is Propecia (finasteride) which involves taking one pill per day, but you will have to consult a physician to determine your condition and if you would benefit from a prescription.
