Hey everyone, I need some advice and recommendations.
The other day I decided after growing my hair out for several months over the winter, that I wanted to cut my hair short for the summer. After doing so, I was shocked to see how bare and thin some areas on the very top of my head were. Now that I look back at some older pictures, I can sort of see signs of thinning on top despite my longer hair. For the last 3 years or so I have always had longer hair on top (several inches or so) compared to the sides and back. I think this covered up some of my the problem areas as my hair hasn't been as short as it is now for years.
I am not currently taking anything (since I just noticed) but feel like given my age that I better soon. Part of me is optimistic but part of me is extremely depressed especially because of how young I am, how dark my hair is and sudden this issue came up.
Luckily I'm just out of school and not working full time yet, so I can wear a hat everyday if I wanted to.
Anyways,
Should I schedule an appointment with my doctor to see if I can start taking Propecia/Finasteride?
What else should I do? Please let me know!!!
P.S. The pictures post are mostly in natural lighting, as you can see, I tried to find the most unflattering angles, since in some lighting it doesn't look as bad.
I also attached some older pictures of when my hair was a bit longer.
