Balding at 20. Norwood? Treatment options?

[PianoMan0130]

I'm 20 and have been losing my hair for some time now. I was wondering if I still have time to start treatment and for it to be effective. What treatment do you guys recommend? I am also wondering what I would be classified as on the Norwood scale.

NW3, but the frontal thinning is creeping inwards. You still have time, but i would start treatments now before this gets worse. Finasteride combined with minoxidil and dermarolling should give you a reasonable chance to recover some of the central thinning.

The BIG3 and derma roller or Topical Finasteride, you still have good hair and can be saved plus regrown.

Finasteride
Minoxidil
Ketaconazole
derma roller.

Topical Finasteride

Nw3.5

NW2.5. Once your thin areas in your temple fade your a NW3. You never had perfectly shaped hairline to begin with. finasteride/Min.

I agree with you. It is hard to articulate but you did it well by saying creeping inwards. Once this happens, then basically everything on top goes to hell so I wouldn't wait on treatment.
