Finasteride.
Get generic. fincar or finpecia. It's cheap enough for you.

Update:
Well since my last post, I have been to the doctors,
He Said, That i shouldnt worry about my hairloss, And that my scalp looks healthy,
He also started going on about how we lose 200 hairs daily and that sometimes
He explained it as a metaphor
" If a war happens, at the end of the war, lots of people have died, and it will take even longer for them to reproduce, and get back to itself again"
Something along the lines of that,
Well here is an update of pics: In my opinion it still looks tghe same as my last ones:
And btw ive cut my hair short since i last took pictures
Thanks for all the support guys, More opinions needed please, Should i see another doctor?
This is my family GP and has been my doctor for over 15 years, I just felt so embarrassed, all i wanted was a prescription and i didnt get one, instead got a 30min lecture, telling me all about the treatments and everything ,
in the end he said if you are worried just get over the counter Rogaine, but he said all rogaine does is make your hair look thick by making it curly he said thats why that dont call it "Regaine" because it doesnt regrow your hair

A little bit of recession is normal for a lot of guys.
It doesn't mean you're gonna go bald.
Most people here are f*****g OBSESSED with propecia (and never seem to mention how potentially dangerous it can be).
But I think the main point should be LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR AND NOT SOME PARANOID STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET.

nope. doctors dont care at all about objective aesthetic issues. they always prioritize health even for things like finasteride which have super exaggerated side effects
the lost social standing and attraction takes a physical and mental toll 100000x worse than any unlikely, TEMPORARY side effects
edit : ok, a little extreme, but still, temporary. and you can never start meds too early [post-puberty]

Sorry but your doctor is a liar and/or totally ignorant, maybe not about your hair loss but about Rogaine for sure.
1. It doesn't "make your hair curly." He seems to have it confused for some sort of hair styling product you buy at a salon.
2. They DO call it Regaine... That's the product name in Europe.

Yeah listen to the guy who says rogaine mechanism of action is that it makes the hair curlier and therefore appear thicker. Having a degree in medicine doesn't instantly mean you acquire that knowledge to every question and problem in the field. There is a lot of very average doctors out there, and providing you have the money almost anyone can become one, so I don't see the logic behind taking every they say as gospel.
Propecia halts hairloss, what a surprise that people on a hair loss forum advocate it! It's like we're in some weird alternate world where people use the best treatments possible for their condition.
Crazy man!
I'd suggest getting a second opinion and hoping you encounter someone in the medical profession who actually knows what they are talking about, unlike the quack you hit first up. Might be a little strange, but if you have a transplant clinic nearby the doctor's there can be really helpful. They know what they are looking for and they are professions in the field. They'll be able to tell you whether or not you need to start taking propecia.
Personally, I think you are starting to bald and I would start using propecia and nizoral, but that's your decision and you ultimately need to make that yourself.
Oh look another person ignoring the very real dangers of Propecia.
That sh*t may work for a lot of people but it can also ruin lives.
If you take it and don't get any side effects, well done. However that doesn't mean that those who do get them are lying or delusional.
For example, I use 5% minoxodil and have never had a shed. BUT I can recognise the fact that a lot of people who use it get horrendous sheds, bloating and other bad side effects from it. I don't just go around denying that min can be harmful.
I don't understand the people here who deny that propecia is dangerous just because they haven't had side-effects themselves.

How am I denying the "dangers" of using propecia? I know 2% of people who use it get sides, I never said otherwise... :S
It's funny how you strongly you advocate following a doctor's advice, but then completely construct your own set of rules for propecia and it's side effects. 99.9% of doctors would say propecia has side effects for only 2% of its users and its effects are only temporary (because that is what has been proven, the rest is just anecdotal).
Since we are taking doctors' words as gospel, here is a sample of what Dr.Rassman thinks about finasteride;
"Many of my patients have been taking Propecia for over a decade without side effects. I have yet to meet a person in my practice who complains of permanent side effects associated with Propecia after they stopped the drug. The few that do have side effects at all elect to stop taking the medication and the side effects have subsided as their hair tumbles to the ground. But that is just my humble experience."
But yes Tom, doctors are wrong and you are right.
kthxbi

nobody denied that it has side effects. it was just recommended, as it always is, as the most reliable + relatively 'understood' anti androgen on the market. that you have some beef with people shooting it out there as an idea is your own problem and not anybody else's.Tom1985 said:
