    Going Bald At 21 Years Old, How Can I Improve My Treatment?

    Update: I met with my dermatologist today. He prescribed me the 5mg tablets and instructed me to cut them into 4 pieces, taking one piece every 4 days and skipping the 5th day. Hopefully it works, and hopefully the side effects aren't too severe (or don't show up at all). I'll also continue...

    thanks for the responses. I'm going to Vegas for 5 days so I won't be able to meet with a dermatologist for a week or two. I will meet and see if I can get on a very low dosage, so that I am at least trying something

    do you know of any topical anti-androgens? Finasteride's side effects are worrisome since I am balding at such a young age, especially with some people having the side effects even after stopping usage of the medicine
