M (23) receding hairline

Hi everyone,
Sorry for my English it's not my first language. I'm 23 years old and I'm receding till my 18. I've been on finasteride for almost 3 years but my hairline keep receding. So I've jump on rogaine foam and nizoral shampoo for maintain or maybe have some regrowth...Family history, my dad is a solid nw1 in his fifties but I have 2 uncle on my mother side who are nw 4 and they are like 30ish...

I'm just wondering where I am right now on the norwood scale?

Bump,
Little shy to post that after 1 month on rogain but i see some little dark hair on my hairline. Is it some regrowth or the balding processus?

hey bro I just have a question, first of all your hairline is not receding but it could be maturing maybe. Your hair is really thick and your crown has a normal cowlick everything looks good. Do you apply rogaine at the hair line or the crown as well? Also have you experienced shedding?

Thanks for the reply mate,

I apply the rogaine mostly on my hairline and a little bit on the crown just to prevent. (I don't know if it's a waste of time to put it on the crown)...I got some sheeding after 2/3 weeks on the product but not enough to be worried about it.

Here, it's more clear and I think we can see some regrowth on the right of my hairline. Maybe it's too early and I couldn't say if it was there before...Anyways I'll keep doing updates and be free to make comments.
Cheers,

NW1, I wouldn't even think you had MPB. Stay on that fin grind.

Imo it doesn't look like Male Pattern Baldness. Were you losing a lot of hairs all over the top of your head before you started finasteride? Having a few short hairs on the hair line is not related to MPB as long as they are black and healthy looking. Every person has short hairs all over their head because they just got out of the resting phase (10% of your hairs are in this at any time) and are starting a new growing phase. If they're thin, colourless, don't grow over an inch and pull out easily then they are minitiurizing.

I can't see how thick your hair is on those pictures, but to me it doesn't look like you're balding at all.

I remember that I start receding around 18, I was stressing like crazy and I was really concerned. I saw a dermatologist who told me that I have MPB, then he prescribe me propecia.I don't remember loosing hair on the top of my head before finasteride. But I got a phase, where I was loosing some on the top while I was on it. I start panicking so I add minoxidil. Maybe I'm just over reacting...

Thanks for the reply.
