Reported. Can you stop lying to people? He is VERY clearly receding, not sure why you get such a kick out of making or letting people go bald. I feel very sorry for you, it's utterly pathetic.
To OP, you are about a norwood 1.8, so very early stages but clearly have hairloss. I think you should trial the finasteride indefinitely, see if it works for you and then evaluate a year down the track if a hair transplant is the right option, or maybe you'll get some decent regrowth with finasteride. I also recommend you use nizoral 2% (active ingredient ketoconazole) shampoo twice a week, and alternate it with a saw palmetto or DHT blocking shampoo like Pura D'Or or Regenepure NT.

Many thanks for the reply, do you think I would get some regrowth using Finasteride?
I've been thinking for a while to start taking it, but the stories with serious sides have really put me off, do you think taking 1mg every other day would be effective and lessen the sides?
I have been using Nizoral & Regenpure DR alternatively every 2/3 days!
Here's a picture of the back, seems to thinning around the crown?

Don't bother with a specialist. See the cheapest GP possible and get a prescription for finasteride. The only thing a derm can tell you is "nizoral, finasteride, and minoxidil". Anyone on this forum can tell you that. In fact the average derm is too uneducated on the subject to even know ketoconazole in nizoral is an anti androgen.
Fin probably won't give you any regrowth, but if the area has only receded recently then it might. You have about a 15% chance of getting regrowth. If you add minoxidil into the temple areas it might give you about a 50% chance. Personally though I got breathing problems from minoxidil.

Vast majority of men with an already healthy HPTA can nuke DHT from their body and be fine. Unless you have some underlying hormone related health issues, taking fin will be a great choice for you.

Crown looks really good.. slight temoporal receding but your almost 40...-i don't think you will ever go bald : treatment or no - i wouldn't risk your sexual function on finasteride- if you are all that concerned use some minoxidil wash with purador shampoo alternating with nizoral shampoo- I really wish I had your hair.......
