21 Years old and been on finasteride for 3.5 months and it has destroyed my hairline and is now affecting the sides of my hair. Hair went from norwood 2 to a 3 in a matter of 3.5 months and is still getting worse. I think I might have RH too because I seem to be losing a lot of hair on the side of my head and now on the side of my crown. Don’t know whether to quit finasteride or continue it because it doesn’t seem like it’s going to improve. First 2 pictures was 2 months using finasteride and last 3 are now and you can see it’s gotten worse in a matter of a month. I need help

It might be temporary shedding, or it might not be.
Its hard to tell.

I would perhaps give it 1 more month or so, and if you are still shedding go see your doctor

I hope it’s a shed but it’s hard to believe that a shed could destroy this much of my hair and cause hair loss in unexpected places like side of my head.

that looks like areata, in that case finasteride is useless.

did you get checked out by a doctor?

Yeah I got it checked out by a derm yesterday and got blood drawn but honestly she was no help and pretty clueless and was just suggesting I take finasteride and minoxidil which I already am.
