Hey guys!
I just stumbled on this website. Thought I would share my story and seek/give support to other members.
My hairline has receded at a steady pace for the last two years (I'm 25). I guess it's normal for many guys my age. However, the past 6 months I have lost so much hair that I am starting to get worried if I am balding. Everytime I shower I always shed lots of hair, my temples are very big and I am also seeing thinning of my front. I wonder if it's my genes but my older brother still has a full head of hair, same goes for my grandpa and my father is only now losing some hair (he is 60+). The thing that bothers me most is that my hair looks worse than my dad's already. Maybe I am out of luck because my uncle is bald and the same thing might happen to me.
I don't want to go bald, I guess I would look like a clown since I have a big forehead and big ears... I talked to a doctor today through an app and he prescribed Finasteride 1 mg for me. I will start using it tomorrow. My plan is to use it for around a year and evaluate the result. I hope that it stops my hair loss. If I am noticing the side effects I guess I would have to stop. I hope it doesn't screw up my libido but since I am already suffering from ED sometimes but I guess time will tell. It's worth a shot nonetheless, I want to keep my hair.
I attached some photos from today. I know that it looks kind of bad already but do you think that some thickening of my hair is possible with Finasteride? Is there no possibility for a tiny bit of regrowth in the bald spots (temples)?
