Hi everyone!

So i went to to this dermatologist (i think thats the appropiate word in english) who is a close friend of my father (which is also a doctor) and prescribed me finas and minoxidil. He told me that i won't have any sides, that sides are common on +35/40 y/o people, and at 21 (i am that age) is not expected to have sides (any way, told me that at the minimun strange feeling i should call him and suspend the medication).

So I just want to know more about my body before taking the pills. I've always been a hairy boy since my 15s, and my moustache came out at 12 y/o. Also still this days (21 y/o) yçI got some acne (not much, just a little in autumm/winter). Is it possible to be related to high testosterone/DHT levels and alopecia?

Thanks for your time!

Absolutely, high DHT and follicular sensitivity may well be the reasons you are experiencing male pattern baldness.

I just want to point out that I had a lot of acne as a teen. Including chest and back. I wouldn't be surprised if the two are related. However in lacking in chest and beard hair. I have a theory that because I started propecia when I was 18 i may have slowed my beard hair growth. But on the other hand it's probably just genetic that i don't have a lot of facial follicles :/.

Thanks for the repplies!

I always thoght that beeing extra hairy (all my body except back) was symtptoms of high testosterone (and DHT for what I have researched these months) and it sounded great, but now it appears to be a double-edged sword, suffering male pattern baldness.

I hope finas works for me and not experience sides.

Thanks for your time, gentlemen.

You'll be fine man, finasteride got rid of my minor facial acne. Now if I get a pimple it goes away by the next day, one of the beneficial side effects of finasteride imo
