Hello,
I just turned 20 years old and have been losing my hair for about two years. Only recently has it started to bother me. I have been taking Propecia for three months and hair is certainly falling out less. But I wonder what it will continue to do. I have odd, vertical streaks of baldness on the top of my head (my crown is not balding). Because I haven’t really seen this before, I was just wondering if you knew if Propecia can help fill these areas in.
I have not seen balding occur in vertical stripes, so I can’t comment on your observations without examining you. If you are balding from genetic causes, your observations of some hair reduction is what we generally see at the beginning of the process.

I also am experiencing a vertical badling…it almost looks like strips where there is a normal amount of hair then a line of very fine or no hair. This is happening over my entire head and started a year ago! Derms and Neurologists have not found an answer to my problem, I am however on APO-hydroxyquin, but it is too soon to notice any results
