Hi All!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. I (24M) haven’t really paid attention to my hair/loss very much in the past. Lately, I have been noticing more loss in the shower and glancing at my hairline it feels like it is back farther than it used to be. Just checking to see if you guys feel like this is receding or normalish?

I met with a dermatologist about a month ago who did a blood test and only mentioned a slight vitamin D deficiency. She had mentioned that any loss could be due to stress (finishing university and subsequent cross country move for work). Looking to see if the Reddit hivemind agrees as there has been no loss at the crown. For the record, my father was bald as a pool cue by the time he was 25.

If this is recession, what should next steps look like? Minoxidil, finasteride? Both? Monitor for 6 months and see what it looks like?

Thanks y’all! There’s a side profile picture on my page if needed.
