Is It Maturing Hairline Or Male Pattern Baldness?

[lexluthor.12]

Hi. I have been experiencing hair loss for three and a half months now. I started to use Alopecy T %5 2 days ago. Some people say it's maturing. If it's not, what kind of treatment would you suggest? I am 16.

Minoxidil is all you can do. You already got a full beard at 16. Definitely maturing. The fact that you have fine textured hair is going to confuse you into thinking you are thinning. Your hairline definitely is forming a NW2 pattern but that may be as far as you go for a long time unless you have a strong family history of losing hair in your late teens and 20's.

My father says he started balding in his 17's and he is bald now but there isn't anyone else.

Can i use Propecia at this age?

No. Too young.
