@k9gatton it seems like every time I get out the shower my hair is really bad . but once i let the minoxidil set in for about a hour my hairline looks thicker and when I put the minoxidil 4 times a day it seems to make it even thicker. But won't my natural oils cause more dht serum to my hairs bc if I don't wash my hair for 5 days I could run my hands threw my hair and see like 40 in the bathtub . that's why I wash it so much to kill the dht in my scalp with keto. Also man you said I have difusse that's the worst type of Androgenetic Alopecia isn't it

You have only very slight recession, not even thinning.
I was almost in the same position when I was 16 (I had great thick hair, most of my mother side males are bald, my father's nearly bald too. I was thinning in addition to receding). I took finasteride when I was 17.
It did keep my hair for some years but now I seriously wish I had at least waited a few more years before jumping on it. I'm now 24.
Your body hair is not an evidence of overwhelming DHT, it might indicate higher androgen receptor sensitivity though. You may want to get a complete hormone panel done before any AA drugs.
You don't need that sh*t for now, seriously. Wait a few more years. And we've got possible new treatment on the line. Just don't do that.
Anyway if you choose finasteride and get any side effects at all, even the slightest sign of sides, you should just drop it. You're young, starting finasteride at this point means you're gonna have to use it for a long long time. If you have any sides and still stay on it you're likely to cause an upregulation of androgen receptors in the long run, which screws people all over.

It looks a bit thinner than usual hair on people without male pattern baldness (it looks flatter), especially in the last picture. He has male pattern baldness, that's for sure.
'Possible' new treatments. What if his male pattern baldness excellerates and he starts to lose 70% of his density in just one year? Happened to me. Point is, don't tell anyone to wait, that's misleading.
Everyone starts with a FULL thick mane, without thinning. He is already experiencing it at the age of 16.
Using minoxidil before finasteride sucks, you would be making your hair dependent on minoxidil, which has a mechanism that is not even known. IF other treatments come out, he still would need to use minoxidil for the rest of life, probably.
Hard case, dermatologists won't prescribe finasteride easily, not necessarily because he is too young.

@Eren I get my density from the minoxdil I really think it gives you the illusion your hair is thick when its not . but when I put it in it makes it thick in my mind I guess. and when you say you lost 70% of your desinty in one year span was you loosing clumps of hair in the shower ranging anywhere from 200 to 250 hairs per shower ?

@WangMQ if more body hair means more sensitivity to dht than that bad bc this imbarssing to say but bro my entire *** is covered with thick thick hair I mean thick hairs . my legs covered I have more hair on my legs than some grown *** men. But my *** is what I focus on bc what girl wants to hook with a guy who has a hairy *** it even grosses me out. But it makes me mad I can grow hair down there but not on my head it stuput I hate my genes as every other guy in this site does to they need to find a cure already

@needwisdom101
Yes I was losing 200 to 250 hairs per shower indeed. It was sickening.
So, you're already using Minoxidil? That's much better than not doing anything at all.
In that right-hand side picture, that's some miniaturisation going on.
I am not saying your hair looks bad, on the contrary it looks awesome.
The thing is, we are ALL born with great hair and now you're STARTING to lose it.
Do something against it, being a bald teenager sucks, it started at 19 for me

@Eren @k9gatton here are two images of myhaur pulled back . first one is before minoxidil , second one is after 4 months tell me if I'm lost ground or made gains it seems to me I'm lost ground a lot of it. But tell your option's . thanks. Oh and btw feel like minoxidil won't do sh*t bc all I'm doing is sending blood full of dht to my hair so it may be speeding things up

It looks like it has thickened up indeed. Four times is overkill bruh, but it won't make male pattern baldness worse. If it works (and it seems it does) then it will only slow it down. Did you put gel, oil whatever in your hair in the second picture?
It looks shinier, quality seems somewhat better too. If you're already using Minoxidil stay on it for a year at least.
Btw, do you use foam or liquid?

@Eren that the second picture had zero product in it besides minoxdil 5% liquid and I haven't washed it in one day. been using the liquid since its summer time in my eyes it makes my hair look like sh*t bc the liquid version is oily af . but when school comes around Aug 11, I plan to hopp on the foam BC guys say it drys faster and looks better I'm never tried It thinkin about giving rogain foam a shot even tho its costly AF
