Re: 21 receding + (PICTURES)
It's definitely receded, has it always gone in at the front?
You have caught it early and just using finasteride is the best choice of drug, i would not use minoxidil as you still have plenty of hair. I would add Nizoral though.

Re: 21 receding + (PICTURES)
Will using these things definately work?
Or is it a hit and hope type situation?
I don't know alot about hair loss, but I get the impression from things I read that nothing 100% works for everyone.

Re: 21 receding + (PICTURES)
No i'v never had a widows peak its gradually gone back in one piece. Recently the temples have been weakening, i dont know if its the meds or is the loss just slowing?
My Doctor was baffled at me asking for propecia, but felt that my best outcome would be to maintain or slow the progression. Iv been thinking about Nizoral lately but might just ride out the finasteride for a while longer see how it goes.

Re: 21 receding + (PICTURES)
Before you decide not to use the nizoral, i'd advise you to read up on it here. It has stimulant properties and helps with the inflammation of the scalp. It can only help, plus you don't need a prescription.
Took me 7-8 months to realise the finasteride was definitely working. Re evaluate in 12 months, then if losing to much ground use minoxidil.

Re: 21 receding + (PICTURES)
Definetly has, i will post before pics of a younger age on my next update, but it has gone back about an inch in total, use to have a small forehead, its now much larger.
Proscar has seemed to slow it down but id like to maintain all i have so im taking "Petchsky's" advice and throwing some Nizoral into the mix.

Re: 21 receding + (PICTURES)
Yeah, minoxidil for you would just be a waste of money. Just use finasteride and maybe the nizoral.
That haircut was a bad choice though.. I couldn't help but laugh a bit at the pic. You still have a great head of hair..you're not at all at the stage where you need to cut it short on the sides (and if you do, blend it, don't bowl cut it..LOL!!).
Check out my pics in the "die hard hairline!" thread, that's the earliest in male pattern baldness stages that one should consider minoxidil.

Re: 21 receding + (PICTURES)
Haha cheers for the advice on both the bowl cut and minoxidil, but its tricky to try and not look at the loss from time to time maybe i am over analyzing.
Finding the 1% nizoral a beaut, like how it makes the scalp and hair feel, will update in a few months again.

Re: Thenational's Story - (21 receding + PICTURES)3 month update
Right so i got on nizoral 1% and haven't felt much if any impact.
Read lots about rogaine foam and am now debating if i should add it to my regime, then i'll be on the big 3.

Re: Thenational's Story - Dec 22 2008 PICS UPDATE
It could be slightly receeding, but your hair still looks great.
The haircut's crap though. Look for haircuts for receeding hairlines. With a good cut and finasteride i think you'll still be in the safe zone for another decade.

Re: Thenational's Story - PICS UPDATE
I know it may seem drastic but the loss hasn't stopped, its just creeping back further and further. I found the idea and inspiration of dutasteride twice a week from the forumer "shadowRX"
I know its easier to maintain than to regrow, i hope to stop the loss, dead, rather than in a years time thinking i should have taken stronger measurements to stop the loss of my temples.
