22M Asian, considering visiting a dermatologist

[PowerfulDouble3]

Hi, I was out with my friend recently and he asked if I was losing hair mainly on the top - I've always had pretty low density but do these pictures indicate that I should visit a dermatologist? Also, I ordered a microneedling pen recently (not arrived yet) but I'm hesitant to try finasteride because I've had issues with low libido and such in the past. I've seen some promising results with using one of those pens so hopefully, it can help me out too.

Whats your family history? Is daddy bald? Looks like you are developing a bald crown in a near future. Get on real treatments and not stupid pens.

My father balded but much later on, probably only started when he was around 40.

Actually, I have some photos of myself from Late 2019 - do you think my problem has gotten worse since then?

If you don't use some kind of DHT blocker this is going to be your new theme song about your hair.

Thanks for the advice, I'll book a consult soon.
I've been looking at my photos from 2019 however, do you see any difference between then and now? I would think that if I needed to be on a DHT blocker back then, it should look different now 2 years later but to my untrained eye it sort of looks the same...

Looks slightly worse to me.

You're right to be hesitant to take finasteride. Do you want to risk the loss of a fully functioning penis with a greater chance of retaining your hair?

try finasteride if u get sides then its not for u but u probably wont

Early stages of balding. Get on treatment.

And quit fapping if you want good libido

Honestly, you are balding on the crown. Is a lot worser now than 2019. Either you use finasteride to stop balding or just accept it and dont complain
