should i start finasteride at young age?

[biglemoncoke]

my body is not fully developed yet, i am skinny as hell, i think my chest is not fully developed. I ordered proscar from elitenet already, don't know if i should start it. any advice?

looks like you are screwed. guess you have a choice of messing with your puberty or keeping your hair.

Huh? I'm not "fully" developed either, (19) but im still well past puberty, so I thought DHT wouldn't have much of an effect?

Im skinny, but quite toned and muscly since doing some more excercise... pretty much the only "developments" my body has left are hair loss, body hair development and perhaps weight gain. I don't want to "tank up" anymore really, plus i probably have a better chance of simply getting fatter or more unfit, or a lot longer down the track a middle age bulge or something.

Im not too fussed about turning down those developments. However I can't take finasteride, so i guess i have to! (unless i brave the dutasteride... which might not be too wise at my age)

i'll be 18 next month, i really want to start finasteride, but doctor wont prescribe, and i am not too sure about it, oh well, maybe i'll start minoxidil for now

biglemoncoke... how bad is your hair situation anyway?

Norwood 1.5 -2 some where between that, i have really thick hair though, so a combover doesnt show anything at all

wow, obviously you have a md that does not forsee all of the addititional problems and baggage that going to go along with mpb… maybe they are just scared because of the young age, but abviosly your body has matured quicker than the average, though early androgen tic alopecia is not that rare

get a referral to a dermatologist if possible
