Transgender and balding, yikes
I’m not good at introductions, but it’s good to be here (well, not really, I’d rather not be balding and thus have come here).
I’m a transman (that means I was born biologically female).
Part of transitioning is HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy- this means every month I get stabbed with a big needle and have testosterone pushed into me- fun).
Testosterone... is making me bald. That’s right. I willingly, regularly pay a lot of money to receive pain to get bald. Double fun, right ?
I’m not really sure how to go about saving my hair without fighting a pointless battle so am hoping there are other trans people in this community that have some insight.
I’m ready to start taking Finasteride and using Minoxidil, however I can’t find sources saying if either of these will result in reduced facial or body hair growth, or reduce other typical aspects of male puberty.
I don’t know if there are better products on the market, and also don’t know exactly where to purchase these from. It’s expensive to get these from reputable places like Boots, but probably the most reliable option to ensure I’m getting a good product, right ?
I’d greatly appreciate any input.
