Hi! I'm a 21 year old male and I've been losing hair since I was 18 1/2 . I'm losing hair all over the top and on the front and I'm currently a NW 2
I went to three dermatologists and two of them said that I should start applying minoxidil 5%, but I'm on the fence about it because it would be such a hassle and I'm looking for maintaining hair and not regrow new hair.
I also don't want healthy hairs to become "addicted" to minoxidil.
So should I start minoxidil or should I jump on finasteride?
(Also can one get finasteride without a prescription?)
