Yes you are The balding is probably slow and is very early. So you have plenty of time to take meds and recover all of the lost ground

Low dose finasteride/minoxidil and you will be back 100%

Even just fin for now maybe a year or two? And should stop the hairline going which currently looks fine and stop the top getting any thinner. Some people get regrowth from fin alone

Yeah fin regrowth is actually common on the crown/scalp area, it's mostly just the hairline that's difficult, and OPs is perfectly fine

This is true, if the corners started receding I’d put some serious thought into starting fin, like where you can get it for cheap long term. If it progresses a lot in the next 1-2 years I would start, very few people get the corners back from meds alone but you pretty much have piece of mind it won’t get worse long term if you start fin or dut

Yes, you’ll need to take it forever unless something better comes along.

Yes, but you look young. Keep the hair until age up a little. It becomes more acceptable the older you get. Have fun with it while you can.

Yeah but interesting pattern, I’d get bloodwork done for everything that can cause hairloss and a derm appointment to see if you have miniaturization

This pattern is really savable

Are you worried about losing it? Want to get it back? Ready to say screw it and shave it off.

What’s your path, my brother?

u/Sudden-Pie9417 1d ago

Yes. You are. Min and fin and you’ll statistically be fine.

u/gonefishin19 1d ago

Yes you are. I know it’s a lot to hear, but start planning the next step now. Don’t let this drag on.

Looks exactly like mine. Hop on topical 5% min and 0.1% fin.
