I wouldn't take finasteride at 17. You are still growing and it may affect your development in a bad way.

But It's best to ask that question to a doctor. Also you need to see a therapist and psychiatrist if your depressed from hair loss. I been through that before and it's not good at all.

did your brother who took it at 17 still developed and mature well? if yes then maybe you can take it as well.

How bad was your brothers hair at age 17?

Dude you’re not losing your hair. Don’t take finasteride. Better stuff will be out in a few years if by which point you might start losing your hair .

You’re nw1.5 . Barely receding. You can’t start Finasteride anyway you’re too young.

There is no way I would start Propecia at age 17. Don't be stupid, to be blunt. You're health and growth from a juvenile to an adult is more important than hair. Give it a few years, new remedies may come along. You're hair is fine, no need to panic yet.
