Am I giving the right decision? **First Month Update**
Hello everyone. I am new in this forum. It's been like nearly 1 month. I will first introduce my hairloss history a little bit. I am 20 years old and my hairloss started when I was 17. At the same time i was suffering from seborrheic dermatitis and i thought this was making hair loss. After fighting with seborrheic dermatitis for like 2.5 half years, at the last I nearly got rid off it. I did not really think that my hairloss is MPHL but eventhough I don't have seborrheic dermatitis anymore, I am still suffering from too much hairloss. My hairline remains same but i am losing hair from only crown. My doctor made 2 mesotherapy sessions and will now start making PRP treatment but I don't think that this treatments will help (Mesotherapy did not reduce my hairloss, but my hair looks more alive) . I am bored of losing this amount of hair, I nearly see 100 or more hair strands in shower for 3 years. I have decided to use finasteride but I am a slow developing man. My facial hair has recently started to grow. I don't want to use minoxidil because of hair cycle and I want to save minoxidil as a last chance. But am I doing the right thing with starting finasteride at this age? Can finasteride make regrowth in my crown area without minoxidil? Plus I am a little bit afraid that finasteride can damage my hairline because of reflex hyperandrogenecity.
Treatments:
Bioting 5mg everyday
Alopecia foam %7 procapil ( every morning and evening for 2 months. No improvement has been seen)
Mesotherapy (2 sessions, did not help my hairloss)
Will start PRP at 30 March ( I don't think this would help too)
****FIRST UPDATE****( I will update this thread monthly so it can give some idea to others who are in the same situation with me)

It's been more than 1 month. I don't know if I had finasteride shed or not because I always shed too much. I don't know if finasteride is working or not because after first week my shed has decreased a lot. I thought it is a placebo effect because it is nearly impossible to start working that early. I nearly see 30 hair strands in shower but in my daily life when I run my hands through my hair I always see hair in my hand so I don't know guys. As side effects I had none. I think only my nose is more oily than before. I still have morning wood ^^ Besides this, I think it has possitive effect on my psychology because I feel like I am doing what I can for my hair and I try to think less. Here are my latest photos. Photos can be misleading because my hair is longer. I tried to shoot with the same angles. I added one more photo with different angle for showing my hairloss better. (I am a diffuse thinner but it can not be seen in this photos. I may add it another time)
