The Unbearable Frontal-only Recession + Finasteride Dilemma

[Swiss_Tampons]

Hey folks,

So here is it. I have exactly the same pattern of my father, who for his whole life had to deal only with temporal recession while having crazy density and thickness everywhere else. I knew my time would come, and as a confirmation, my forehead and hairline is getting astonishingly similar to my father's ( now his situation is worsening in mid-scalp too). That's precisely the reason for the rollercoaster of indecision that I have been through after all this awfully time lurking foruns. So here, in the foruns, we are shown that cases of guys with the temples/hairline-only recession pattern wrecking the hell out of their frontal areas with finasteride aren't rare anecdotes; those cases seems to appear in a sistematically horrific consistent way. Hence we have the debates on the elusive phenomenon of differential responses to androgens between frontal, mid-scalp and crown.

The thought that finasteride could possibly acellerate my frontal loss is KILLING ME SINCE 2014 !!!! I can't deal with this anymore!! I was literally following Brotzu's potion thread with finasteride in my hands, but couldn't pull the trigger. Not until the delay-bomb was dropped yesterday. There were also the previous hypes as the PG protocol and sh*t. f***, girls and guys, what do I do? As a way of taming the anxyety I started microdosing finasteride. I've been recently hit by another wave of thinning at frontal region and just couldn't take this indecision anymore.

Anyone with frontal-only pattern of recession to chime in? Anyone who had sucess slowing the temporal loss with the malignous dick-slayer?

Hey dude im in the same boat as you, started propecia almost two months ago ( for temple recession ) and its crept back almost half an inch!!! Pics confirm this so its definitely not in my head.. ive been looking at hair systems so that might be the way to go for me i think

Frontal loss is a b**ch to combat with the meds available. About the best options that I know of is finasteride or duta to halt or slow the progression and a hair transplant after a year on meds.

Hi i'm in the same boat, so is it true that finasteride can worsen the hairline.

Half an inch in only two months?! Wow, that's some serious sh*t my friend =/

If someone has the money and is comfortable with the risks I think dutasteride is not a bad choice especially if you have bad male pattern baldness. Starting dutasteride early is probably the best thing you really can try.

Hey mate,

I've been slowly receding now since I was 16 (now 20) however only on the left temple and slight recede in the frontal forelock. I was doubting that I have aggressive male pattern baldness due to me being so young however in almost 5 years of loosing hair my recession Isn't too bad and not noticeable at all as I can cover it well. I won't take finesteride because I'm scared of sides and my derm advised me not too (should have protected sex for the rest of my life whilst I'm using it) so I hopped on minoxidil for around 6 months (12.5% with AA from belgravia centre) I got a big-ish shed at first, maybe 20 hairs on my pillow every night however my hair seemed to get better and I slowly stopped it. Fast forward a couple of months and no doubtedly my hair got worse in dropping it and noticed my hair was thinning more progressively. Ive now dropped my minoxidil down to a 5% foam lotion (regaine) and I've been on it for 6 weeks however I've been shedding non stop for around 6 weeks since I've been on it however I'm somehow not loosing any ground, hoping for results as I've now restarted the process.
