Do you treat the different races differently when they bald?
With non-surgical treatment, all races are treated similarly. Each patient who chooses to have surgery requires different treatments based on skin thickness, hair color, hair characteristics and density, and these do vary between the races. For example, the highest hair densities appear in Caucasians, while the lowest densities are in Africans. But because Africans have less color/contrast and better hair character, often that will offset the lower hair counts found. Best to read my book, which talks about this subject (and lots more), which can be found here. The text of the book is downloadable in PDF format, or you can request a free copy of the book by mail — both options are available on that link.

Hi doctor how are you, Thanks for your time. I have been using propecia almost 5 1/2 months and so far nothing has been happening positive way and there is some thinning .i have pattern 2 to 3 going for 3 soon. I am 28 years old. I have been seening this beatufil girl almost 3 months we are so into each other and last night we been together firt time but i had a major errection problem.Everything went so bad… i cant explain wierd feeling. This never happened in my life. It did feel really bad.Aspecial because it happened with her but i was wondering if i stop taking propecia this kind of side effect will be gone and how long after stopping the medication i can expect to get back to normal if it is caused by propecia. I know you cant have all the answer but according to your knowledge, could you suggest something else to keep up love life and control hair receding problem. Sincerly.
