what should I do now?

[pick]

Hi all!
I am 18 years old and have quite thin hair.
My hair in the corners above my temples is pretty thin and less dense.
I must mention that I am not bald at all now,and have full proper hair and am only afraid about going bald.
My dad ,his brothers,grandfather,and lots of other people in my family are bald.
So my chances of going bald are pretty good.
Should I do something about it right away?
Should I see a doctor just to know stuff?
I know the popular opinion is there isn't a cure for baldness but for transplantation(male pattern,which is what might happen to me),but they speak of several other things like laser treatment,homeopathy,Rogaine,Propecia,and stuff.
When should go talk to a doctor about these?ANd what doctor should I speak to?
THank You

Homeopathy is a scam industry.

Lasers don't do jack shit - total SCAM.


You need to get on Finasteride if you have male pattern baldness.

Do not get a hairtransplant - the shit rarely ends well and it's more complicated than you think.

As you said you dont need one.

3 things that work: Finasteride, Minoxidil, Ketoconazole 2%.

Those 3 active ingredients work, do not spend money on anything else for hair loss.

I appreciate that you are always posting with a view to offering advice but I have to ask, what would you say if I told you that I use laser therapy and I feel that it has some benefit with regards to retention? I don't know your experience with it but I read about people who have used it expecting it to regrow hair. Neither Minoxidil or Propecia are particularly good at that. Retention is the key.

I disagree that most hair transplants don’t end up well. I think if you of to a good doctor a lot of guys have great hair transplants. 18 is way to young for a hair transplant anyway, but I don’t think people should be misinformed.

I also have heard that some people believe they have had some success with lasers so this can not be ruled out either. I think you should see a doctor and if you have MPB talk to him about Propecia.
