Is my hair line receding or am I just imagining it

[Dan26]

I'll tell you from my own experience and many other young guys.

When the hairloss isn't too bad, they start off by saying ''I'll never go on finasteride the side effects are too scary''

Then the worse their hair gets the more their mind changes. Until eventually they are norwood 3 and visibiliy balding and feel horribly about it and say 'what the hell may as well try it now'

The sad reality is that if these guys would have just got on it in the beginining they would have saves a lot of hair. And if they are going to get side effects they will find out either way if they end up taking it.

Finasteride generally only stops hairloss, it does not grow new hair. The name of the game is early intervention and starting at the first signs of loss.

Ya man you are toast unless you get on finasteride.

Do your due diligence and make an informed decision about it.

Their are benefits and risks. It is always a personal decision.

The risks sounds very scary
and the shedding from Minoxidil/Rogaine also has me very worried.

Ya, i get what your saying Dan. I called my family doctor today to get a referral to a derm

[Randomdude12]

Well my doctor wont see me till January, so i cant get a reference to a derm unless i find one that takes people with one. Not really sure what to do in the mean time. I might try a Ketoconazole shampoo it (i hope) might slow things down. but like i said im not seeing any hair in the shower or my pillow so idk
