Hello,
First, I would like to thank everyone on this Forum who strives to help and encourage others dealing with the ugly truth of male pattern baldness.
I started noticing my hair loss when I was 20 - 21 years old. I got really upset and I just ignored hoping that it would just go away lol. Anyways, 5 months ago, I realized that I will be losing my hair anyway so I should fight it as hard as I can, until probably getting a hair transplant or just accept my reality and live with it.
My hair is thinning around the crown area. My hairline looks fine for now and I have not noticed any changes since my childhood (seems weird compared to the majority Alopecia cases which start with the hairline).
Currently, I am only using Rogaine 5% twice a day and Biotin 10,000 once a day. I noticed some improvements though I think that Rogaine is doing all the work. I will probably stop using Biotin.
I am wondering If I should start using Finasteride. The only thing I am worried about is the side effects of using it.
Do you think I should start taking Finasteride? if so what dose do you recommend?
Should I include anything else in my regimen?
