    Receding hairline at 19? (please help)

    Thank you for the information. And wow, I'm sorry to hear that. If it's that aggressive why don't you opt for the shaved head look? Also you seem very knowledgable about proper treatments, are there any other treatments you recommend that would otherwise be difficult to find (ie. RU)?

    Atleast you know almost immediately if you have side effects or not. I glanced at your regimen, what's the RU homemade solution? I attempted to do a search but it doesn't work for two letter acronyms

    Receding hairline at 19? (please help)

    I suppose I'll schedule an appointment with a different dermatologist who may prescribe it. I'm assuming 3 months is enough time to determine if you are prone to experiencing side-effects? If there are no side effects though, does the drug then become a lifelong need? At this point, puberty is...

    Receding hairline at 19? (please help)

    I visited a dermatologist a couple days ago and when I consulted him about finasteride he said he wouldn't recommend it for someone at this age. Surely the side-effects can't be that exaggerated if a doctor advised against it

    Receding hairline at 19? (please help)

    This is where I am at a loss. Don't some reports indicate it may take months, even years to bounce back from adverse finasteride effects? I may use a finasteride alternative for 6-12months and before considering a prescription. How does this work as a regimen? 1) Nizoral 3-4x a week 2) Revivogen (for use as...

    Receding hairline at 19? (please help)

    Thank you for the input, I'll schedule an appointment with a dermatologist as soon as I can. As far as treatment options go, are there ones that truly stop male pattern baldness from progressing? The reviews I have read seem to be highly varied.

    Receding hairline at 19? (please help)

    Sure, here are additional pictures. - - - Updated - - - Noone on my father's side has any history of hairloss (my father is 60 with a full head of hair). Noone on my mother's side although my grandfather started losing hair in his late 50's/early 60's but I assume that is normal.

    Receding hairline at 19? (please help)

    Hey guys, So I've never paid any attention to my hairline until a couple classmates pointed out to me I may have a receding hairline. As far as I know, I have no bald individuals in my family (including my mother's parents). My parents said this is simply the type of hairline my family has...
