I started finasteride at 16 it saved my hair for a decade
16 is too young. Your penis could still be growing and you still could be in puberty. No good doctor would prescribe finasteride to a 16 year old. DHT is needed during puberty. finasteride is prescribed at 18+

Where would one even get finasteride without a doctor? Anyways, would natural DHT blockers suffice for now? I heard they only block 30-40% which is significantly less than finasteride. But minoxidil is 100% safe right?

minoxidil is fine. Natural dht blockers are too weak for male pattern baldness it will barely help. But its not recommended to block dht during puberty. Dht is needed for penile growth. Its up to you if you want to reduce penis growth or not. I would never.

Minoxidil very inconsistently, stopped for years at some point and if I apply it then only once a day.

Minoxidil won't do anything to you. You might as well take it. In the U.S., you don't even need a prescription for topical.

Yeah I'm in Europe and also don't need a prescription for topical. I just use it once a day on the corners currently.

Oral would almost certainly do more, but like I said, it's not really worth it to me.

Oral min? I buy my oral min and finasteride from UK without a prescription. Forget about alldaychemist they are based in india. It will take weeks to arrive and you will probably have custom problems. I never have from the site I order from.

I get finasteride from an online Doctor but yeah I'm just cautious with oral Minoxidil.
