Use a 1.5mm dermapen. There are no side effects to this treatment except physical pain. Just make sure you keep it clean and look up a tutorial to get an idea for how it goes. Studies compare it to minoxidil in terms of effects and they have a synergistic relationship (Do not put minoxidil in...

It clearly bothers you if you are posting here about it, balding or not. I do think low-dose finasteride is a great choice. I would also recommend adding a dermapen to your treatment for good measure. No side effects just a little pain with proven results. Your hair isn't bad at all, definitely...

No there isn't. But in my opinion if you make it to 47 with great hair count yourself among the lucky, Many of us are in our teens and twenties already suffering. That doesn't make your friends struggle insignificant, but understand that they are above average in their ability to keep their...

Don't ruin your hair for your back. That is my opinion. I don't mean to be condescending but have you tried scrubbing your back with a loofah or small towel? Dead skin can absolutely cause body acne and water alone will not remove it.

Everyone's hair loss is different, some people recede then stabilize at a certain point for years if not decades, other keep suffering loss until norwood 6/7. But if you are at the point you are posting here it clearly bothers you. It's easier to keep hair than regrow it my friend, and for that...

I'd say Norwood 2 in my opinion, with thickness slightly diminished overall. The answer to "best solution" is tricky, because all the treatments are a compromise. Finasteride will lower your DHT and most likely maintain what you have with a chance of restoration, but has known side effects on...

If you have an appointment with your derm already. It's definitely the time to mention it. In my opinion this is crown hairloss and too elongated of a hairloss spot to be called a whorl or cowlick (Although you have great thickness in general). A dermapen may help you with this problem area...

Hey, new poster here. 25 year old with Norwood 3 (receded temples, with thinning hair behind receded temples, crown is mostly okay, very slight thinning). I was coming up with a plan to ideally restore and maintain to a Norwood 2 with decent thickness, which for me would be ideal. I was...
