Visited my local GP today. Spoke to a doctor, requesting a prescription for finasteride (as I'm close to running out) and blood tests to determine whether or not the fin I was currently taking was having the desired effect on my DHT levels.
The doctor looked me up and down and said I didn't look as if I was balding. I told him that I had been using minoxidil since I was 16, plus I styled my hair in a fashion that hid receding on my temples.
He asked me where I got my fin. I said online; he warned me to stop self-medicating. He went on to say that he could not prescribe finasteride, nor conduct blood tests, as a precaution. I reasoned with him that my father had begun to experience aggressive hairloss at roughly 21 and that I was currently 20 and that surely preventative measures were surely more effective than tackling hairloss once it had fully kicked in. Nevertheless, he told me to return when I was 'clearly balding'.
