Helo guys how are you doing?
First of all, I just wanna make clear that when you read this post you may think Im crying just like a little girl but well.... I came for help and any of it will be HIGHLY appreciated.
Status:
I am a 17 years old male - 5'10 - Not skinny/not athletic/normal.
As most of you I have started to suffer from hairloss.
On my father's side of the family: Father's bald, Grand-uncle's bald. Not one else, including my grandfather and my uncles are bald. They have started to show receding signs now that they are in their 50s.
Mother's side of the famly: Grandfather is NOT bald. One of my great grandfathers was bald.
My hairline looks like the one in this guys link:
Issue:
I have noticed my hair's been receding slightly since last year. Just slightly, almost nothing, but well, I am a 17 yo and NONE of my friends has a receding hairline like me, they don't even have one.
I decided to go to a doctor specialised in hair problems to see what he would say. He's one of the best ones in my city so I take MOST of his words as true.
This doctor looked at my hair and said I would probably be bald by 25 - EARLIER Than my dad did(he started to get bald on his 30 and by 35 he was bald). - I got shocked - slightly depressed
.
I told him I use nizoral shampoo due to my dermatitis(that simply doesnt heal) - as a bonus effect, to help me with the receding hairline.
He told me I would not have to use Nizoral however I would have to use Finasteride to make sure some of my hair will regrow and that it will keep my hair forever - as long as I use it forever.
But, I am only 17 - I am only 5'10 - I consider myself ugly - I have narrow shoulders/child-bearing hips and Im REALLY *ucking scared of taking a medicine that might screw up my hormones, mess up with my future beard and my height/bone growth
What do you guys recommend me to do?
At one side I am really scared of taking the risk to have some sort sexual dysfunction for the rest of my life
On the other hand, I can surely keep my hair, even regrow some of it and increase self-esteem/girls success, etc.
I have talked to my father, and well, I really, HONESTLY, wouldn't mind getting bald at 35. but... since the doctor said id be bald by 25, it means that during my late teens and early 20s I would have thin hair.
I mean ... its just WAY too young. My father is awesome, he is one of the most intelligent people I've met and hes very charismatic whereas I am an ugly dude with a girly face ,really stupid - baldness wouldnt suit me at all and would make things even worse.
He was very nice and told me I could take finasteride and that he would pay for it, however, he also told me he'd never really cared about hairloss and caring or not would be a problem I would have to decide.
Nevertheless..... damn..... its so hard. I mean, I imagine if I not take finasteride and when I turn 20~25 ,be made fun of by other people, I might regret and even becoming depressed. And I also imagine what would happen if I handt taken it, would my face turn manlier, would those *ucking hips go away and would I get taller?
I've also read some HORRIBLE permanent side effects its caused to people, but I know that its such a small chance, and if I were to consider every single option/thing that MIGHT happen I wouldnt step in a car/plane etc....
I hope you guys get what I mean, English is not my first language so I might have confused you. If thats the case, tell me.
