Don't Think I Am Just A N 1.5 Or 2. Help!.

[Notanuther1]

On one post I asked for Norwood classification, and it was mostly said to be N 1.5-2. I have since noticed more minituarization on sides and a lot of thinness above ear especially on sides. (Is that DUPA?) I don't know if it even matters since I still haven't started a treatment other than Nizoral 2x a week for seb derm and itch. I was going to start minoxidil just using on temples and hairline and now I guess on thin spots too. But most of you guys say minoxidil is awful. The shed may never end, messes up hair cycle, etc. Dermapen. Will it do anything without minoxidil? I really don't have much choice rogaine, dermarolling, or do nothing and keep balding. Sorry, just frustrated, don't know what to do! I am 17 and I think I am progressing pretty fast. *Last is hair from Dec. I think it looks worse in new pics. Now or never for treatment?

Thanks, but I was thinking I might be Norwood 3. Does anyone have any good reason to use Rogaine?

well it looks to me you are balding, only you can gauge the velocity of hair loss based on progression and dynamics

I guess I just have to decide for myself. I know I am not using finasteride at 17. Minoxidil is for life or as for as long as it works, so I guess I will flip a coin.

I have a diagnosis of male pattern baldness from a dermatologist. You're right though. This forum isn't really helping me. My pictures can't show the stupid minituarised hair , etc. I wish you luck in whatever hair loss issues you have.
