Lucas, I'm only a year older than you and my hair is in considerably worse shape. I feel your pain, but your hair doesn't look that bad! Keep a close monitor on your hair, though. The easiest way to tell is when your hair is completely wet. Take a picture of your head after a shower under a...

Your face is burning? You need to see a doctor or dermatologist IMO. I get itchy scalp all the time. I get pimples too which can burn, probably because my follicles are a battleground between DHT and finasteride. I wash my hair and scalp religiously with nizoral and other shampoos that do a great job...

I haven't taken finasteride for years, but I'm beyond year 1 and I take finasteride before bed after brushing my teeth. It's really not that difficult to keep up. I also take a daily men's multi-vitamin at the same time. It's the same concept.

Very difficult to tell from that photo. Scalp visibility doesn't mean you're automatically balding or your hair is thinning, unless you've never had that before. Certain hairstyles reveal more scalp... it looks like your hair is standing up away from your scalp in that photo (if I'm looking at...

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Hair was thinning since I was maybe 18 or so, it started at the temples. My temples currently still look great, for some reason, it just stopped, but instead I had aggressive thinning on the top of my head for a few years before I got on the big three.

Hey buddy, Hair density doesn't look bad. The only indication of male pattern baldness are those peculiar temples. You say they've always been that way, is that male pattern baldness-denial speak or is that the absolute truth? I don't mean to come across as mean, but let's face it, a lot of us (including me)...

I have the 2%... it's not going to kill you if you add a 3rd day. In fact, if you're like me, you won't suffer any adverse effects. I started off using it twice a week, but it makes my scalp feel SO MUCH BETTER that I started using it more frequently and it doesn't dry my head out. I think...

Jayden, I hope it all works out for you man. I'm sad to hear you're suffering it so early. But don't go nuclear on your life just because of it. If people comment on it just tell them that it's part of becoming an adult... which it literally is. Maybe it'll help but try buzzing your head...

I wanted to start finasteride for over a year. I kept reading the horror stories and never pulled the trigger. I even ordered saw palmetto and took that for a few months. Of course it didn't do anything. My hair got so bad that I decided it was time to try finasteride. I'm almost 4 months...

Sorry to hear about your traumatic experience. I think going on that treatment is good for your case. You don't know if it's male pattern baldness (it probably isn't) so there's no need to go on finasteride yet. Some might argue about the onion juice and other non-conventional methods, but for you, some peace...

I have not had any sand like particles. I shower every day as well, sometimes twice a day depending on what I did that day. After a couple of hours my scalp would be itchy/irritated and I'd scratch it a little bit, getting that yellowish gunk. Had lots of pimples on my scalp that freakin'...

I used to get the same stuff. Was a little stinky too. Oddly enough, nizoral helped make it go away for me. What kind of shampoo do you use? A lot of men don't know this, but if you use women's shampoo it has certain oils and other ingredients that make hair look "shiny" which for men just clog...

There's a chance you would have experienced male pattern baldness anyways, I'm not sure if you'll be able to naturally maintain or not. It's unfortunate that you won't be able to continue finasteride if it worked for you. I guess you can't ask for an exception if it's specifically listed. Try minoxidil and hope that...

Let it grow a little bit. If you have male pattern baldness you will see it.

Genetics. I doubt it's much different.
