First, get a blood test measuring your DHT levels before starting anything. 1mg oral finasteride daily, topical minoxidil twice a day (except the day you dermaroll, only once that day) dermaroll temple area/hairline with 1.5 mm roller once a week. Do all of these things for 6 months. Get a blood...
I started going bald at 16 and finasteride saved me for 10 years. Had a monster shed for the first 8 ish months and by year 2 my hair was the thickest it'd ever been. Now I'm 27 and back in the fight and exploring HRT options.
1. Scalp Biopsy to determine the cause of hairloss
2. Blood Test to determine DHT levels and vitamin levels as well.
3. If scalp biopsy confirms androgenic alopecia, get on finasteride and minoxidil IMMEDIATELY. I started finasteride at 16 and it helped me maintain my hair for over 10 years...

Damn this forum has fallen hard compared to what it used to be. Why all the hate on each other guys? The enemy is male pattern baldness and we gotta do everything it takes to stop it. I was going to ask about people's experience with bicalutamide since I've already been on finasteride and minoxidil for 10 years...
Oh wow, you already have kids and you aren't competent to prevent them from accessing the medication?? Is this a clown house?
If you're afraid of taking an anti androgen just say so. Plenty of people are. Don't blame your kids....
