Hi, I am a 27 years old male with baldness on my head since last 4 years. It has reached to a very high extent. I consulted a skin doctor 2 years ago. He advised me the minoxidil and finasteride medications. I achieved good results then. But as I had heard about finasteride's sexual side effects so I stopped the medication so that it does not damage anything in my body.
But now I want advice about using finasteride. Is there any harm taking that medicine. Because it gave me fortunately good results. Should I take that medicine and till when. Or is hair transplant the best solution for this baldness.
Thanks

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.
