I'm 20, on finasteride and before I started there were not any noticeable signs of balding. But a trichologist told me that I was at the early stages. However, recently I've noticed that there is sometimes more scalp visible from my crown towards the BACK of my head. It takes the shape of a line...

I am a twenty year old male, 21 in July. I started taking 1/4 Proscar daily last August and did this until late Feebruary this year. At the time that I started taking it, I was at the very early stages of hairloss. All of my barbers had said I have nothing to worry about but my brother (about...

Yeah I tend to agree. Although the reasons why it doesn't halt it completely are little understood. Have heard of a a few hairlines supposedly getting worse when on Propecia, but I think any causal relation between the two is questionable. Have heard of quite a lot of 'worse before better'...

So I've been on 1/3-1/4 of Proscar daily since August 11th 2014 (depending on how accurately I manage to split them haha). My reasons were mostly preventative. All my hairdressers had said no signs of hairloss, no comments from friends (touchwood). However, my brother (two years older) and...

Thanks. Yeah I heard a lot about the 'better before worse' stuff, but I thought that this applied more to the hairline than the crown. Six months to a year seems to be the consensus on ho long I should be waiting for results... sigh....

I'm a 20 year old male. My brother started thinning very early on so I was always aware that I probably would as well. I went to a hair loss clinic about a year ago and they said that I was suffering from hairloss. However, between then and about two months ago, my hair really looked unchanged...

Okay, so I'm 20 next month. No one has ever told me it looks like I'm thinning. But my brother (18 months older) has just started getting visible signs of male pattern baldness. A surprise given that although my dad, 65, has lost a lot (but not all) of his hair on the top, on my mother's side they all have great...

Sort of makes sense. But then it's quite normal for hair to stick up at the crown a bit anyway. I've seen it in people with super thick hair

My understanding is that proscar is not available in mainstream pharmacies and that most doctors won't prescribe it anyway (you need a doctor's prescription to purchase any Finasterdie product even though you have to pay for it yourself). Obviously there are ways of purchasing it without a...

I appreciate your feedback. However, a lot of people don't seem to appreciate that paying 500+ per year on hairloss medication is a big decision for a lot of people, especially those who suspect that it has arrived early in their lives. I'm a student with aspirations to travel, rent a place, pay...

I'm 19 and have posted pictures of my crown on here before. Most people said that my hair looks healthy. I have also found some old photos of me and it appears that I always had a sizable hair whorl, even before I finished puberty. However, I do feel that recently that hair around my crown has...

I'm a 19 year old male who has (for actually rather complicated reasons I won't go into) been paranoid about balding for about 7 months now. I posted some photos of my hair last month and the general consensus was no signs of male pattern baldness. My hairdresser told me that there was nothing wrong with my...

Thanks for your kind thoughts and advice. I know it will affect people in different ways. Being a student with aspirations to travel and do lots of interesting things, cost is one of the major things that could influence how I treat hair loss. I can't easily afford drug treatment right now and...

As appreciative as I am of the Marxist critique of western civilization (nothing like a few light thoughts to ease one into Monday morning), I was actually referring to my scalp. It seems to have gathered mixed reviews so far. 4 saying no signs to worry about, 2 saying that I'm damned to spend...

Mind telling me why?
