new user confused what to do (pics)

[fabio27]

Hi im a 27 year old male i have hair a slow thinning hairline for maybe 6 years and its now starting to show and im at a loss of what to do.I have researched for hours on end diets meds myths and keep promising myself ill do somthing.

To start of meds scare me its my phobia so its gonna be a big ask for me to take them plus any sides will freak me out.i have a history of baldness in my family both sides my brother's 3 years older than me but u can tell he has a receding hairline although he wears his hair short and its not too bad looking and no loss at the back either.I have posted some pics my hair looks alot worse when wet and i lose loads all the time i notice it on my pillow my hands my clothes so im pretty sure i have MPB.the thing that puts me off is right now i can get away with no one knowing im receding but if i shed loads on meds ill make it obvious and basically speed up my baldness and what if the shed dont grow back at all? somtimes my scalp hurts in my hairline is that due to balding?

is it worth starting propecia now? or rogaine? id be happy to keep what i have im not bothered about regrowth jus stopping this in its tracks as much as i can.i prob dont help with my bad diet lack of sleep, excercise and smoking
