Finasteride and teens

[paulsreef]

My son is barely 15 and his hairline has started to recede aggresively. He has had a huge growth spert over the winter of about a foot, which brings him up to 6 feet. He has a doctors app. to get some blood work done to see if he's lacking something. I spoke with my own dermatologist and he said he wouln't hesitate putting him on Finasteride, but to first see what is blood work shows.

I'm 51 and started to lose my hair in my early 20's and it was a slow process of 25 yrs until most of it disappeared; isn't 15 very early? I'm worried about messing with his hormones while he is still going through puberty.
