So I'm a 18 year old male with a LOT of body hair and a fair amount of facial hair, which leads me to believe I have a high level of DHT, but I've never been tested for it. I recently started 0.5mg propecia and have ordered some 2% Nizarol shampoo and was wondering if i should start on minozidil for my hair line? From what I hear it grows basically nothing back but I'd like to hear peoples opinions on this, I'm wayyyy too young to have hair loss and I'm not good looking enough to pull off the bald look. Furthermore I was thinking of starting S5 cream? I've not actually seen any studies about its results so I'm sceptical as to whether it actually works. Also I was wondering about PRP therapy? Some of the results seem pretty decent but I've not actually seen anyone talking about it at all in the hair loss community so I'm confident its pretty much a scam, look forward to hearing your opinion, below are some picture for you to assess.

Thanks,

Ride it out with finasteride. for another year and see how that goes first.

Sad to say you are definitely not to young to experience male pattern baldness, but I can relate to how you feel being diagnosed at your age. Your hair overall looks great right now.

I was @ 18 when signs were first noticed. Good luck and continue keeping us abreast with your progress either way.

How bad would you say my hairline looks? and ye I've been on finasteride for not long, maybe 3 weeks but I get the feeling that since the itch is still there and I'm still losing hair that its not going to work, thanks for the reply though

I knew someone that took 3 treatments over a year, definitely retained his hair but not so sure about regrowth

So the general consensus is that I should get on minoxidil, what dose would you guys recommend?
