Welcome!
Welcome to the site Thomas. I know how hard it can be losing your hair at a young age. I started taking Propecia when I was around your age and it helped me very much. I think it’s really your best defense.
You uploaded good pictures and it looks like you can still save a good amount of hair and possibly even grow some back. Also you have good facial structure so you might even consider buzzing it real short while you're treating your hair. A very short crew cut or buzz cut can really disguise your hair loss and it’s considered a cool style now. Just food for thought.
You found the best hair loss forum on the web. You should listen to Spencer kobren’s show on Sundays, it’s very therapeutic.
Hang in there, you will be just fine.

hi thomas , sorry to know u suffering of mbp at a young age, i think u ´d look good with a buzz cut , u have the right head structure, getting on finas would help a lot too, the right way to go is ketokonazole shampoo, once ur scalp is clean then aply minox, you have to fight sebum first i cut 5mg finas pill in 6 and its working for me maybe u should start with a low dose too..
cheers

Thanks for the responses so far. I shaved my head a few months ago and didn't like it personally. Usually I have my hair parted higher and cover up my receding hairline somewhat. For the pictures I parted my hair and combed it towards the top of my head to show the progression of hairline loss.

Thomas, all I can say is that you need to get a proscar prescription ASAP!! and don't take no for an answer. If one dermatologist doesn't give it to you, go to another one. And dont be afraid to advocate for yourself. Tell them what you want very clearly and why.
Proscar comes in a 5mg pill. You get a pill cutter and take 1/4 once a day. It probably will cost about 100 a year, maybe a bit more. Its the best bargain Ive ever come across in my life. Who wouldnt save their hair for 100 a year? And dont listen to message boards that talk about its side effects. Half of that stuff is posted by people who sell fake "all natural" products and hate that propecia has put them out of business. Ive never had one side effect from it. Remember, people who are happy with a drug dont post in forums, its only the bitter people that do.
