    10 Years on Finasteride (With Before and After pics)

    Not sure what you mean by this, but I haven't had any noticeable side effects. No erection issues and I still have decent muscle gains from working out, no gyno, etc. I don't really care at this point because whatever small side effects I may have seem to be outweighed by the positives of...

    10 Years on Finasteride (With Before and After pics)

    The only advice I can give is to stick with a reasonable regiment. The big 3 is easy enough to follow and it's seemed to work for me. I think a lot of people here are searching for a magic bullet that will stop all hair loss but it's not realistic. I've seen people around me start losing their...

    10 Years on Finasteride (With Before and After pics)

    Hey all, I started taking finasteride in April 2011, when I was 22 going on 23, after about a year of denial that I was receding. I wish I jumped on it sooner, as maybe I would have a better head of hair than I already do. I've taken 1.25 mg generic (cut from 5mg) up until last year when I...

    Let The Journey Begin (long Term Documentation)

    Yeah, I've been taking it since April 2011, every day. No known side effects, I felt the same after taking it. I never believed the hype about it making your dick not work anymore, and what do you know, I never had a problem with that. Just saying.

    Let The Journey Begin (long Term Documentation)

    It's difficult to say. In some photos it does look like the back of your head is thinner than the rest, and in others it looks normal. I wouldn't trust dermatologists or anyone on this forum for that matter, the best you're going to do is leave 1% doubt in your mind and that 1% is going to eat...

    16m Need Opinions On My Hairline Thanks

    You're fine. I assume you have a strong family history so you are watching for the early signs of it? Regardless, it isn't very common for it to start for anyone at 16. Just keep an eye on it every now and then. Early receding will look like short thin hairs at the front of your hairline when...

    27 Years Old. Am I Balding Or Is It Another Reason?

    Yeah, it looks like baldness, but you caught it at a good stage. Just get on finasteride, and minoxidil too if you don't mind the hassle. Then try to live your life as normal. You probably won't be bald, at least not when you're young if you do. I've been on finasteride for 9 years and still...

    Am I Maintaining? 10 Months On Finasteride 6 Months On Dutasteride

    I'd say you maintained, maybe looking a little better than before especially more toward the front-center. Pictures can be deceiving though, I just base it purely on what I can see.

    Why Are My Temples Uneven? 17 Years Old

    Could be normal, could be early signs of loss. Compare to older pictures if possible. Keep a close eye on it. If you have any moles or freckles along your hair line, use them as landmarks to know what's normal. Pictures aren't good enough to tell for certain.

    Is There Miniaturisation At My Hairlines? What Norwood Is This?

    Yeah, that's the first sign of hair loss. I agree with everyone else, start up on finasteride and/or minoxidil too. You caught it super early and with a little bit of luck you'll keep your hair for many years to come.

    Is My Hairline Receding At 15 Check

    No, you're fine man. Aside from that though, you shouldn't be worrying about that at 15. Go enjoy your youth ffs. Hair loss wasn't even on my radar when I was 15.

    About To Shave, I Need An Honest, No Bs Assessment

    I think you should just shave your head and be done with it. It's a bandaid you need to rip off of an infected wound. This is clearly giving you a lot of mental distress, and I think not having to think about losing more and more hair every day you look in the mirror would be a huge burden off...

    Help Needed - Is My Kirkland Minoxidil Fake?

    Thanks, I actually agree. I put a dab of it on a flat surface and when it fully evaporated after about 2 days, the crystals were there.

    Help Needed - Is My Kirkland Minoxidil Fake?

    Hi all, I'm overseas in China and I bought some Kirkland liquid from a reseller on Taobao. I'd like to know if anything stands out as overtly fake about it. China is known for fake products, but they've gotten a bit better over the last few years. This box retails for $16.99 on Costco's website...
