I have not noticed that many side effects from the finasteride yet. Just trying to keep what I have for as long as I can. My crown is good I just worry about my uneven recession but it's been like that for a long time

I assume the laugh emoji is because it looks like sh*t or I'm wasting your time?

any insight would be greatly appreciated

I think this one looks the worst

Update, been taking topical finasteride and minoxidil since February of 2023. I am now 38 the photo at the top was at 35. I was wondering if you guys notice any more loss or does it seem to have stayed close.

thanks. So I am probably going to get one more trip to the dermatologist in a few months and see if they think finasteride is worth it or not. Any brand of shampoo that you think is good for the scalp. Right now I just use the stuff from Costco.

I have been reading that receding on one side and not the other is a bad sign. Can anyone confirm this. My right side is much more receded than my left.

Thanks for the recommendation. I went to a dermatologist a couple times early last year and she looked and said normal thinning for someone your age, but it seemed very quick and not in depth. I will have to try and find a new one, someone who specializes in hair. That way they can get me set up...

Thanks for the replies. So pass on the finasteride. I have tried minoxidil but didn't notice any change except that it made my hair feel really gross and my scalp itchy. Would anyone recommend some sort of shampoo or conditioner to help or is that even worth it?

My grandpa on my mom's side was bald early, not sure when. My mom's brother had decent hair until his mid 40s, but it was clearly thinning a lot more than mine...

the side view here looks really bad to me.

My dad had good hair, his dad had good hair, my brother has good hair (40). My mom's dad was bald, my mom's brother almost bald, my cousin on my mom's side balding, my cousin on my dad's full head of hair.

Hello I am curious if anyone would recommend getting a prescription for Finasteride.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. The derma Doctor said I looked fine, but if I wanted to stop any possible future hair loss to get some minoxidil and start with once a day. No harm she said in using it balding or not. :)
