Hey guys,
First time poster here, but I have been reading A LOT from different forums. I know of most of the current treatments and expectations,side effects, etc. But I wanted to get some different opinions from those who actually suffer from male pattern baldness and not some doctor who doesn't give a crap hair loss. Anyways, over the past two years I have noticed that my hairline has been creeping up on me. I am currently 20(21 in 1 month) and I like to consider myself as a good looking guy who has always been known for his hair. Unfortunately, over the past 7 months I have noticed in a massive increase in the amount of hair I shed in showers, on my pillow, while running my hands through my hair, etc. I have noticed the most hair loss and change in my temples, the area between my temples and sideburns, and frontal hairline. My father is in his mid 50's and has thinned on top but still has a decent hairline and maintained 40% of his total hair on top. On my mother's side, my grandfather is a NW7 and was basically a NW5 at 30 years old. One uncle on my moms side is completely bald and started losing hair around 19, while my other uncle on my moms side is probably a NW3.5. My brother is 3 years older than me and has lost more hair compared to me, especially in temple region and crown. I have spoke to 3 doctors(1 GP, and 2 dermatologists), they all said not to worry about anything and the most I should do is minoxidill. I have some pictures below and many of you would say that my hair looks fine, but I want to prevent loss and possibly grow some hair that I lost on hairline. I have been exercising and lifting weights religiously since I was 17 and I eat somewhat of a healthy diet. What do you guys recommend? Should I try to get some propecia? Should I use rogaine? Thanks!
