I thought I'd never be bald because my dad is getting close to his sixties with no sign of receiding/thinning whatsoever.
2 years ago I noticed my hair looked a bit thinner at the very front, I thought I was just being paranoid and didn't pay more attention to it. I let it grow and had very thick, long hair for a while.
6 months ago I cut it short for the first time in 2 years and everything seemed normal, nothing to worry about.
But last time I cut it (2 months ago) I noticed the thinning at the front was getting obvious and started to notice how much hair I shed everyday and it got me depressed as hell.
I went to see my dermatologist and she prescribed me minoxidil + finasteride if minoxidil doesn't work, but I am afraid of boths side effects. I have very sensitive skin and don't want skin side effects from minoxidil, and am a bit afraid of finasteride because of what I read but I can't just do nothing.
This is not noticeable to anyone except me right now, but I'm only 20 and I'll be bald in 2 years if this shedding pace goes on.
I had been very confident with my looks/body/style recently and had been feeling like I was able to get any girl but I feel like this is all going to stop in a matter of a few months. Each time I hook up with a girl I cannot enjoy it and feel like I am lying to her, that I will have to stop talking to her when my hair sheds more because she won't be as interested in me.
I don't know what do to at all ; from what I understand, finasteride could work very well on me since I still have a lot of hair and I am thinning mostly on the top though.
Have any of you been on finasteride this early ?
