17 year old, need advice asap [pics]

[danylq]

So I just went to the dermatologist, we took some blood samples and everything seem'd normal. He later on told me that I have ''temporary thinning'', which I believe is pure bullshit. My entire family background consists of bald men, from both mother and fathers side. Although they've started receding at the age of 30..

Is temporary thinning even a thing? Honestly. I want am considering using atleast Minoxidil, as I can't use finasteride or anything like that yet.

Can you guys give me some tips or advice? I'll post pics below

Yes, my hair has improved. But it is also due to the fact that I've done my own lineups, to cover up the recession. Also, when I shower my hair at the sides seem to be thinning af.

Please help me out.

Wait until you're 18 then make a decision based on your rate of hairloss-probably too early to tell if you have MPB right now and starting treatment too early is a risk.

I'd recommend starting on Propecia only (when you turn 18) but be *extremely careful* as you may be unlucky enough to get side-effects. I would advise against Rogaine/minoxidil as it's a very time consuming treatment, is pretty noticeable when it's in your hair (people will assume you have greasy hair and don't shower) and if you decide to discontinue treatment you'll probably have a massive shed.
