Hey everyone, I really need your help. I was diagnosed with male pattern baldness when I was 18 ever since I’ve been battling it with finasteride and a brief period of minoxidil. The past 3-4 months I’ve lost a lot of density on my crown and partings it happened v quickly, but I’m not surprised my hair loss seems to be aggressive and I’m seriously mentally unwell. Idk of it got worse because of all the emotional trauma and stress or it’s something else. Can you give me your honest opinion on what to do next? Do I switch to Dutasteride or do I ride it out to the one year mark? I honestly don’t think I have that kinda time before i get bald spots :(
Oh and I’m 19 rn incase it matters. Have family history of hair loss but no one that I know of went bald and no one started thinning at my age. My mum and older sister both have hair loss induced widows peaks, a Norwood 2 id say they both developed it around 20 but still both have v thick hair. My right temple is in better shape than my left, am I a Norwood 2 on my left or worse? God I’m scared incase I can’t fix it or stop it :( Thank you for reading this and please let me know your thoughts.

I went to a trichologist and got my hair examined for miniaturisation, they said I don’t have any and that I’m loosing my hair around my ears and back of my neck from a pull test. I’m currently getting tested for telogen effluvium, and btw I did have recession when I was 18 that’s why my hairline is uneven and fucked, but they told me it’s now under control and the finasteride is doing it’s job so I won’t be coming off it anytime in the near future. I’ll keep this updated with my story to help others in a similar situation, but please go see the specialist before consulting forms and users on the forms.
