going bald sucks

[confuseddude]

I thought about fin, but I want to first see how rogaine works, since its not a systemic drug. If rogaine does nothing, then I may consider fin or just shave it. I'd rather not risk using finasteride just because it is a systemic drugs and has a higher likelihood side effects. Thanks for the input!

Just for anyone reading this about rogaine, here's what I have been through: I havent' had a ton of shedding, i've shed a little but nothing too serious, and I've seen fine hair growing on my temples that I didn't see before I started rogaine. I only say this because I did thorough observations of my full scalp by myself and my friend just to be able to document any changes properly. All I can hope is there is more where that came from.
