What's up guys I want to preface this by saying that my loss was very early, still is early as well. I'm 19 years old which probably contributes to that. Hopped on finasteride a month after I turned 18. Been on it around 15 months now at this point. Felt like I was losing ground after being on it, but honestly have come to realize it was mostly paranoia to best honest. Half-brother who we share a father with a NW2, he's at a NW4 right now. Big Latino family, ranges from a NW0-NW7 across mother (her two brothers were the NW7) and dad's families. You don't care about that. Started min topical 5 months ago, derma roll at 1.5mm a week and apply tretinoin to my hairline before the application of min. A mistake in my opinion because there was not really much to grow back honestly. In this five months my natural widows peak has become lifeless and wispy, and I have a much worse part of my hair (still nothing dire, but it has gotten worse considerably). I had hair greed for no reason and it's bitten me in the ***. I should stick to this, and you think it may bounce back, or should I add anything else to my routine to balance this out? I want to keep as much as I can for as long as possible I think I just need to learn to be patient, appreciate what I have and learn that if it's in my genes some thinning is going to happen but to not freak the f*** out all the time. That being said it has been getting worse at what I feel like is every day. I just want some guidance and opinion what to do if you were me young and early in the battle. Also want to pitch in that a dermatologist did confirm temple thinning being to start in May 2020 when I first got finasteride. Be honest with me, I know I'm not anywhere even close to bald.
