Thinning Hairline. Took Propecia, But No Result. Will Biotin Help?
Hi,
I am 31 years old, male and am healthy. I have a full head of very thick hair though I have a thinning hairline, its not that bad and I can cover it up well, though I have taken Propecia for 6 months and that didnt help so I came off it 2 weeks ago, I now have started Biotin 2000 mcg a day, will this help? I cannot afford a hair transplant but I am very very vain and worried about my hairline? Thank you

Hi, you are having androgenetic alopecia grade 1. Take finasteride 1 mg daily till you get good result. Take biotin 10 mg thrice a day for long time , even after you get good result. Apply minoxidil 10 percent solution twice a day... Be relaxed, avoid tension .... Have healthy food. Take good sleep.. I hope you will get good reult.. Ok
