What to expect at 21 (Treatment)
I share a little of my story and get down to my question.
I'm 21, pride myself in my looks, and my hair. I'd consider myself a pretty vain person so luckily I noticed i may be losing hair about 1 year ago. People thought I was crazy, I certainly had some doubt whether or not I was right about whether or not I was losing hair. But after 6 months, and a hair cut I was certain my temples were receding. For another few months I waiting in denial before finally going to a dermatologist to get Finasteride. I'm one week short of finishing my 3rd prescription (3 months) and recently started using Nizoral. I don't know if dandruff is a side effect of Finasteride, but I started to get an itchy scalp and a lot of dandruff. This had never really happened before, could have been a coincidence. Anyway, I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and get Nizoral for the hairloss and the dandruff. The Dermatologist also recommended Biotin 5000mg to strengthen the hair I have.
To wrap this up, I obviously have no doubt I suffer from male pattern baldness now, from what I can tell the only affected area is the very front of my head. A decent amount of temporal recession, and a bit of thinning in the center. I guess I'm at a NW2, but its hard to pinpoint where I am at.
So, If I'm only suffering from mild-average frontal hair loss, should I add minoxidil to my regimen? And if I do, and I have Fin, Minox, and Nizoral what are realistic expectations for regrowth where hair is thin, regrowth towards the forehead, and the halting of any further loss.

I have been on fin/niz for over a year with no regrowth, I cannot take minox due to low blood pressure but I would assume it would help my hair if I did. If you can use minox and you want regrowth it is probably the best option.

How old are you? Did your hair at least stay the same?

I'm 20 now and my hair is about the same as when I started. I'm around nw3 so that I was hoping for some regrowth, but it never came.
