Am I balding? (20yo)

[cntcaleb]

I really want your guys honest opinion. I have always had pretty high temples but recently I've noticed I've been shedding more on the top of my head. I have no family history of baldness so I'm not sure if its actually male pattern baldness. If it is male pattern baldness I don't want to be in denial and then at 25 be completely bald. should I start medication, I hear if you start right at the beginning you can actually alter hair loss.

if I actually am balding I have a couple of questions about medication:

1. Will it stunt my beard growth. Im 20 and my beard is just now filling in pretty fast. If I take propecia would it stop my beard growth?
2. am I too young to take it?
3. how long would it last?

here are some pictures of my hairline:

1. Maybe 2. No 3. What do you mean? You have to take finasteride until the day you die if you want to keep your hair. When you stop it will fall out. As for the long term peak results occur at 2 years, followed by slow continuation of hair loss after 2 years. At 5 year mark half of people will have more hair then when they started, the majority of the rest have the same amount of hair, and 10% have less hair. Plenty of people come here and complain that finasteride is not working anymore and their hair loss started picking up again at aroud the 8-10 year point and then you may have to resort to other options, although finasteride may work longer or not as long as that for you as an individual. Looks like you may have the beginnings of a receeding hairline

Can someone give me opinions of my situation? Am I balding or is it just a maturing hairline? Should I start medication? if I am balding, what Norwood am I?

Thanks!

Sometimes it is easy to tell other times it isn't. Your best bet would be to see a dermatologist or a hair specialist.

Medication cannot be the only solution. All you have to do is to start with the right treatment process. Inquire about some of the best hair care solutions that can help to to get rid of baldness.

Oh cool, another scam.

So, do you guys think I should start Propecia or should I hold off to see if I'm actually losing my hair?

Scammers are like flies at a back yard country side picnic. Easy to brush off but impossible to ever be rid of completely.

Get yourself properly diagnosed by a respected and well qualified physician. That's my advice for now. All the best.

K, I will try to get to a physician and see what they say. If they do say to start taking propecia, my only fear is that it will halt my development since I'm fairly young.
