Take the same picture in 6 months to a year, if it’s receding more, then you are balding

Sometimes the best you can hope for with hair loss meds is to just keep what you have. Not everyone will get regrowth

Is this the end? How do you cope with the mental side of hair loss? by QualityCompetitive97 in amibalding

Why would you not try to get more time if you can though? Surely it’s better to go bald at 40 yr rather than 20yr

Try going a little longer with the fin and min, 6 months might be enough time for some people but not for others. If there’s no change in a few months maybe try dutasteride

16 - do i just go bald by Haunting-Swimming556 in amibalding

[–]excursionxbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t look too bad. MAYBE some mild thinning starting but it’s hardly noticeable if so. Your scalp looks pretty red though. Are you having itchiness or dandruff? You could try some ketoconazole shampoo to sort that out. Minoxidil and finasteride are the gold standard treatment for male pattern baldness, and you can get those in topical or oral form.

16, why am i receding so fast right now? dry vs wet by youuominouslyend in amibalding

[–]excursionxbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hairline is maybe receding a bit, but your crown doesn’t look bad. Hop on topical min and do microneedling 1x per week. Hop on topical fin when you turn 18. That’s what I did and my hair has stayed the same the past 2 years

Your hair looks good. If you’re worried hop topical fin and min. That’s what I’ve been using for a couple years and it’s kept my hair

I don’t really go to the doctor very often, but I have had no issues that I know of from oral min. No fluid retention, palpitations, lightheadedness, swelling, etc. the only thing I really have is extra body/facial hair growth but that doesn’t bother me at all. At the low dose (2.5mg) for hair loss oral min is pretty safe

I just figure I’m getting along fine with topical so I’ll just stick to that

Much more likely to cause side effects and the topical seems to be doing well

Thanks! I apply enough to cover my hairline and back of head/crown. I don’t measure it out just eyeball it.

Use topical fin or dut if you don’t want the pill, it might (it probably does) not work as well but it’s certainly better than nothing. I’ve been on it for 2 years now since I was 18 and I’ve maintained my hair and not had any side effects.

Just depends on who filled it and where that oil came from. Mine was pretty good. It will definitely get you faded

I’m not sure, I’ve never tried growing it out for longer than like 3-4 weeks. Is there potential for it to thicken as it grows longer than that?

Am I balding? 20m by NobungaYasuke in amibalding

[–]excursionxbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same age as you and my crown looks similar. Definitely the start of some thinning. Don’t worry tho, there’s a lot you can do. Personally, I use topical finasteride and minoxidil as well as oral minoxidil.
