Hi. I’m an 18 year old male almost 19 and I’m starting to thin on my right temple (used to be my lower temple on my hairline). My moms dad lost his hair in his 20s but still he a combover to this day. My dads dad starting losing his hair in his 40s I think. My starting losing his hair slowly in his 50s. I have two cousins on my dads side who are in there late 30s. One has perfect hair and the other started losing it in his early 20s. I will put a link to my current hair below. You see my right side appears to be thinning at the temple but the rest seems alright. I saw a hair loss specialist in November that said I was maturing but I went to a derm in January that said it could be early male pattern baldness and said I could start treatment now. I asdfs o don’t shed much. I’ve seen a few hairs on my clothes and pillows in the morning but not much in the shower or never more then 5 at a time usually unless I really run my hurst hard after having a hat on. I have stress and anxiety so I don’t want brain fog or sides or any kind now. I’m considering two treatments:
1. Topical Finasteride-From a compounding pharmacy called hairstem- .1% finasteride 5% minoxidil // I would take 1mL daily
2. A regimen with zix 2 mL daily in the morning and 5% minoxidil at night daily with .25mm derma roll at night daily right before the minoxidil. I would also include nizoral shampoo once a week
My questions are:
•What treatment should I start of the two?
•Is there something else I should so instead or with? (like lower dose of topical finasteride)
•How bad is my hair right now? (Norwood, aggressiveness)
