    Rate this hair loss progression

    5 years and not that much difference means it will be a slow loss.

    18 years old male. Am I balding?

    NOBODY pulls that much hair out. You may be aggressively going bald.

    Started Minoxodil again and have had a huge shedding, stick with it?

    Everyone will probably tell you to stick with it since it "synchronizes" your hair cycles which can lead to a shed, then improvement.

    Topical DHT blocker that doesn't have Finasteride in it.

    What is the best topical DHT blocker? A chemical one. Not some "all natural oils"... NOT with finasteride in it. How would a DHT blocker with Finasteride actually work? finasteride works on the prostate and stops the production of DHT. How is that going to stop DHT locally? I want a topical chemical that...

    Took 0.5 finasteride out of anxiety, mental state is kinda bad right now. Any finasteride veteran here?

    finasteride definitely will mess with libido, and there really is no way around it. And you are probably too young to be on it.

    Stopping finasteride after 8 months

    For me, it takes about 3 months to get bad. If I hop back on, it takes about 3 or 4 months to notice a "coarseness" or thickening. It's never going to recover, but to keep it is key, and using concealers. I do bounce off and on, like if my hair looks like sh*t (which it does then recover some).

    Stopping finasteride after 8 months

    I would keep on the half pills for a while. I've never really heard many stories of it making things worse long term. And of course always use Rogaine with it.

    Stopping finasteride after 8 months

    My crown is wrecked, but the finasteride never made it super recover since I was already bad off when I started. It did help recover some when I was on it, but concealers have always been my savior.

    wtf is going on with my hairline?

    Yes receding. Being a little older means you may have a lot of time, or may never go bald.

    Stopping finasteride after 8 months

    It took me a couple of months to see results, but a year and a half until it suddenly made a difference. I pretty much have quit finasteride since it makes me have a restricted feeling with erections, and little to no ejaculation. Still using Rogaine and derma rolling and rosemary oil, and adding left...

    Balding or high hairline. The last photo is 5 years ago

    Yea just aging. Not balding per se.

    Is this male pattern baldness or something medical?

    It doesn't look normal. Also if you don't have insurance then I don't know what your options are to get on Finasteride. Also, do your research. DHT is a type of Testosterone that your prostate produces. You make more of it the older you get, and that's the chemical that attaches to the...

    Am I balding?

    Looks good to me. Keep an eye on it. Look at Magnus Carlsen. World chess champ. Same hairline as yours.
