I first started noticing the thinning/receding in the front corners of my hairline when I was 24.
I was freaked out at first, but when I actually started checking out other guy's hairlines, I realized that I wasn't alone. In fact, MOST guys are showing some signs of recession by their mid 20's.
I briefly tried using Rogaine. I didn't use it long enough or consistently enough to say whether it works or not, simply because I couldn't stand using it. It makes your hair feel greasy, and it stinks.
I don't think I'll ever try Propecia, because it's expensive and I've heard the sides are not fun.
If they come up with some other "cure" sometime in the future I might consider it, but for now I'm just going to keep my hair cut short and take it like a man, come what may.
I guess this doesn't help you much, but it helps to talk about it
