I always unconsciously knew I'd be an incel since I was a kid but it didn't upset me that much. And that was confirmed when I got into college but I didn't obsess over it... I don't know why ...

But then a few days ago, I took a look in the mirror and realized I'm balding. My hairline doesn't seem to be recieding but my scalp is really visible and my hair is thinner. Fuck my life. This is seriously depressing me and made me suicidal. The only bald people in my family were my grandfather and his 3 brothers... But none of their children were bald when young so why is this happening to me. Fuck my life. My hair might've been the only nice thing about me. I'll go to a dermatologist a week later but reading about the sideffects of the drugs like finastride I don't have any hope. I hope I dont kill myself.
 
I’m 21 and my (patchy) beard is already going gray.
 
I can't grow a beard or any facial hair.
And you’re balding? Fucking brutal, usually patchy facial hair=thicker head hair or the other way around.

Yeah most of my body hair is really thin so I thought I won't go bald but here we are.

Well shit, I hope that doesn’t happen to me because my beard isn’t getting any thicker
 
I'm not even going to fight mine because what's the point.
 
Buzz it really short. And plan to get a hair transplant when it gets worse.

Or just live with it.
 
How likely are the side effects?
"Finasteride may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
inability to have or maintain an erection
decreased sexual desire
problems with ejaculation (including decreased volume of ejaculate)
pain in the testicles
depression"
well the only one i got it seems is the slight pain in the testicles, but it's rare, other than that i don't feel difference.
 
Get a proper diagnosis first from a dermatologist
 
I'm on dutasteride and minoxidil. Only side effect I have is dark eye circles, it's probably from the minoxidil.

Well those are a little scary. I hope I don't get sides
 
Is microneedling effective? I'm considering buying a dermapens
Not sure, ive heard it can damage your skin on long term. Ive heard Dermastamp is safer, but dont take me by my word

Sides go away after 2 weeks if you ever get them. The post finasteride syndrome thing doesn't exist, those people are all mentally ill, there's no evidence for it. There's 0 harm in trying finasteride as long as you are a fully developed adult. If you're over 21 start it asap.

It might be too late ngl
Your only option is hopping on fin and hoping you get some regrowth theres litetally no other solution so you either need to go through with it or prepare to be go bald

Even if you take fin
If its bad enough you might need a hair transplant or you might go bald anyway

Hairloss is genuinely brutal
One of the worst things that can happen to someone looks wise
 
You guys are giving me hope, thanks
Just because it worked for him doesnt mean it will for you
It might completely fuck your hormones and give you ed but thats the chance you have to take

You could just take it one day and have one day off thats what I do to try and off set the side effects

Why would it be too late...
I'd look like megamind without hair.

Did you get any sides?

Your saying you can see your scalp alot through your hair which means you’ve probably thinned alot
I might be thinking the situation is worse then it is but Idk for sure cause you didnt post a pic

When your balding you should start fin as early as possible to offset it and keep more hair
The longer you leave it the less you will keep
 
Did you get any sides?
I had some ball pain on and off a couple times mainly in the first few weeks and I have gyno somewhat now

Honestly Idk if I would have gotten that anyway though since my hormones have been fucked for awhile
The fin definitely didn’t help though
 
If you are still not old, it might be androgenetic alopecia. I remember it can be improved and treated with medication. My friend is also taking medicine. His hair is a little thicker than before, but I forget exactly what medicine it is. Hope your hair loss is not serious.

its ok brocel hear me out

you can get on dut and min

go to a good dermatologist, preferably one that specializes in hairloss for men. because they know what you need.

ideally he will prescribe dut (more potent than fin) and min pills (more potent than min cream).

dont worry about the side effects. the thing about finasteride or dutasteride is, it can potentially, in rare cases, lower men's libido. that's something men are insecure about, so, naturally, they exaggerate stories and create myths, like with every topic that's sensitive for people. but in practice that's something that happens in rare cases and you shouldn't expect it to happen to you. i've even read that dutasteride "straight up castrates you chemically", in reality i take it and noticed 0 difference jfl

Going bald isn't too bad to be honest.

Thanks brocel I'll look into it.
 
Thanks brocel I'll look into it.
there's also some dut injections that can reverse norwooding even more. i got them and have like zero norwooding. but it's rare to find a derm who does it
 
I'm not even 21 and my goatee is going grey :feelscry:
