Why have you not gone to a GP and started finasteride already? You are so early into loss that if you just get the prescription you will likely fill all of that out and not have to worry about this for potentially the next 10 years...

Good choice getting started with real treatments. Remember that your first few months may be slow or it may appear like they are not working. But you want to hold out, I guarantee that after 4-6 months you will see the beginning of improvement. You can use as little as is required to massage...

I'd go the SMP. I reckon it'll look great on you too. Otherwise you're gonna have to stick to the hair system. Heck, you could do the SMP and then wear the hair system if you weren't happy with the results. It'd still be heaps cheaper than a transplant (which I figure wouldn't get you as much...

Well you'll feel a hell of a lot better once you're doing everything you can. I stopped checking daily when I started getting serious about treatment. I've been enjoying my life more since believe you me. I'd use the dermaroller with minoxidil on your temples but otherwise just use finasteride...

If you won't have a transplant your options are limited to duta. It may work. I've heard of some people who responded well to duta after finasteride couldn't hold back their hair loss. However, it may also not work. If you've not had any side effects from finasteride I say try duta for 6 months...

If you're not ridiculed for your hair, someone will ridicule you about something else. That's life and nobody should really care about the opinions of the masses. If hair however means a lot to you I say get a wig/system as a last resort. I am talking the point where this guy decides he doesn't...

If it bothers you that much why not just wear a wig or hair system? Life is full of ridicule anyway...

Heh, if you're bald there are now plenty of options for having a full head of hair. Just you're luck you might off yourself the year before they find a cure. Get on treatments and hope for the best

It sounds like you're in denial about the whole thing, waiting for it to one day stop. Here's the truth. Your hair will continue to get worse, day by day until you actually stop just watching it and start doing something about it. Go to your GP and get Finasteride. Take Finasteride a year and...

I dunno man, I don't see enough evidence to suggest finasteride at this stage. I think your dermatologist is correct, you should observe over the next 6 months and then make a move. As for concerns about side effects. Decide whether you're gonna use it or not and then stop reading about it...

If you were any other age I'd be saying to get immediately on finasteride. However, as you're only 18 I'm going to say to carefully observe. I mean, take monthly photos and keep a solid eye on it. If it's advancing rapidly and you cannot afford to wait the 2 or so years, then I'd probably take...

Nowhere near gone yet but now is the time to act! Jump on finasteride (a doctor can prescribe this) and keep up the minoxidil if you're having good results. Then you can merely observe over the next 12 months. I would wager that you see the loss come to a halt and you can retain this amount of...

You made a huge mistake giving up finasteride based on the fact that you didn't see results in a short period of time. Finasteride is well studied and proven to stop/heavily slow hairloss in the vast majority of men (I am talking high 90s percentage). If you take it for the foreseeable future...

It's still up in the air whether Nizoral will be replaced by Regenepure DR as the go to shampoo. Regenepure has less harsh chemicals than Nizoral and contains things like caffeine and emu oil. On the other hand it contains 1% keto as opposed to the 2% in SOME Nizoral. But if I'm not mistaken...

I don't think you're balding man. Those tiny hairs are not miniaturized hairs imo. If you're concerned, just keep an eye on it and keep taking photos over 6-12 months. If you notice changes then you can consider treatment. But due to your age I'd be hesitant to recommend any other course of...
