How much time do I have?

I’m 19, just started Fin about a week ago. Over the past month, I’ve started diffuse thinning very aggressively. If Fin doesn’t end up working (I’m trying to prepare for the worst), how much time do you think I have before I have to shave it? MPB runs on one side of my family (mom’s).

I just started fin a little while ago as well. Looking at your pictures, I would say you have nothing to worry about, seems like you started meds just in time.

Good to hear man, that gives me a little more hope. Good luck to you on Fin as well!

So the back look like where you part your hair or is that thinning also? Any before pictures?

I purposely separated my hair like that, so I guess it’s a part. With my hair normally, you can’t see any bald spots. However, my part has in fact gotten wider, which I’ve heard is a sign of diffuse thinning.

Pic with the side part is from the other day, the other is from a month ago. For now, my main worry has been on my hairline.

What brand finesteride are you using? As some generic brands can be very poor in quality.

Also what other added additional products besides finesteride do you use?
