Is Medication Even Worth Using to Treat My Temple Region?

I’m 19 years old and I am already losing the hair of my temple region. Am I too young to take medicine to regrow hair? And, I have also read that most of the medicines don’t work as well in the temple region. So, would it be worth it to even try?

I assume that you are talking about the hair on the sides of your head — temple peaks — not the corners of the hairline (which many people mistakenly called the “temples”).

Medications such a Propecia and Rogaine do not usually work nor are they recommended for treating hair loss in the temple region. I cannot say if it is “worth” it for you to try. Talk to your doctor, get a diagnosis, and find out what you are really trying to treat so you and your doctor can come up with a Master Plan.
