    Question Couple of questions

    Hello... I'm new to this forum and please don't be harsh on me for some questions that might sound stupid to some...

    Anyway, my story... I'm 24 years old... I used to be model but not anymore... but my future job and success could be very infuenced with my looks... and that's why I need to give my best to keep it.

    Anyway, 4 months ago my hairstylist said that he thinks I'm thinning at crown... I can't explain what kind of rush of fear went through my body and almost every day since then I spent hours researching about hairloss and what can I do to regrow and keep it full. At first I was like ''ONLY NATURAL''... later ''Minoxidil will do trick and NO FIN'' and now I'm like ''Guess finasteride horror stories are trully rare ones''.

    I believe that most of people who are happy with finasteride stay away from forums trying to forget they had any problems with hair, right?

    I spent many days asking people around what do they think about my hair... other hairstylist think that I'm overreacting and that I don't have signs and that my head is full of hair... I went to 2 dermatologist... first one said that I don't have androgenic alopecia and that it might be because skin is too tight at that area...other dermatologist said that it's probably earliest stage... she prescribed me some shampoo, vitamins and some minoxid 2% (haven't started any)... I asked about finasteride but she said it's too early... could it be too early?

    I also had iron deficiency for quite some time because stupid diets I was using trying to get perfect body and my hair IS slightly better I THINK since first notice....

    My plan is to search some other dermatologist in my country... and then I will give my last decision about finasteride (preferably proscar). My opinion about minoxidil is that it's like some sort of taken freedom. Like if I want to take some sun and dive into the sea, I have to wait at least 4 hours??

    IMO... if I have alopecia I think it's not that agressive and that it's developing slowly for now...

    I googled a lot but I would like direct answers to my questions...
    1.What's your suggestion on how to keep track on sides? In that small chance if I get any, should I continue or give up imidiately? (THO I PRAY I'M HAPPY MAJORITY)
    2.Approximately for how long can I expect finateride to give satisfying results? Is it true that some people even after 15 years of using it keept good results? (ALSO PRAYS I WILL GET MAXIMUM OF IT)
    3.It's not about your body to get used to finasteride, it's about that level of DHT is getting higher and higher as you age, right?
    4.What do you do when finasteride is not that much effective? You make higher dose? And later get on Avodart or what's it called?
    5.Treatment shed... could it be cosmetically too much obvious? I want to be prepared and not freak out...


    Thank you for your time, I would be trully greatful if some of you give some advices
