    21years old considering Propecia/Finasteride

    Hello to everyone out there!

    I could really use some advice, since this hairloss shit is on my mind all day long -.-

    So my situation is the following:

    I am a 21 years old male, who is experiencing a maturing hairline. I am not sure If it is only a maturing hairline, but nevertheless it is constantly on my mind. Like 24/7.

    I am now considering going on Propecia, because I would like to get this shit out of my head. I just want to live my young years not worrying about hair loss. I have been reading about Propecia for a while now, I’ve heard all the scary stories and basically there is only one thing I am afraid of and that is the brainfog. I am studying at a business school and I really want to keep my avarage up throughout the last 2 years I have left.

    I know high temples run in my family, but the thing is that I have a half-brother on both my moms and dads side.

    The half-brother on my moms side has lived a really unhealthy life (smoking, very bad nutrition & depression) and he is almost bald. Very high temples, but plenty of hair around the crown. He is 35 years old btw.

    The half-brother on my dads side has high temples aswell, but not as high. When he does not put his hair backwards he actually seems like he has a full head of hair & and he is 50 years old.

    Besides this I have two other brother (same mom&dad) both with high temples but no hair loss, they are 24&27.

    My question is basically just, can I save some of my hairline on Propecia and is it worth it?

    I just want to take it until I am 30-35, and more in peace with high temples/baldness. I will also add a picture of my hair styled.

    I will attach some pictures - these were taken when I thought my hairline was the worst, greasy hair after a few days without washing.

    Thank you in advance guys!

    Your hairline looks fine. As has been said on this website... many many many times before, maturing IS a form of hair loss, BUT it does NOT mean it will necessarily mean it will progress.

    I would wait and see. Propecia is a drug, not without side effects. Not worth taking it (and risking SHEDDING). Propecia is NOT a prophylaxis for going bald.
