Hi guys i turned 17 a month ago and i've noticed that my hairs starting to thinning and my temples receding. On my moms side no one balded. On my dads side my dad was bald. My brother also started to experience hairloss at 17 and at 21 he started finasteride which stopped the hairloss and even regrew his temple area. I was wondering if doing it at 17 is a good age because I read about how i'm still in puberty and growing.

Im worried about how finasteride reduces the DHT and i need that at my age for masculine development for things such as facial growth, facial bone growth, height, and finasteride might impact the facial fat loss that you lose at a older age. What do you all think i should do? my doctor prescribed me finasteride and minoxidil but recommended me to try the minoxidil foam first but my brother says to just use finasteride because its what worked for him and nothing else did. he also told me minoxidil grows hair but doesnt stop the hair loss so please help me thank you.

My brother said its good that im using finasteride at a younger age because i have a higher chance to regrow all the receded parts and stop the hairloss. and thats great but im also very worried that this will ruin the development of my masculine features such as facial bones, height etc...

i dont know what to do and a recently turned 17 year old shouldnt be dealing with this kind of stuff...

Tough call really, some people develop earlier than others do so it’s a personal call and your doctors call on whether you think you are done maturing enough to go down the hormonal route. I’d stick on minoxidil as long as you can tho

Trust your doctor not your brother, wait a couple of years.
