[need advice] fighting the norwood reaper at 18

[Loko88]

hello,
two years ago I started being aware of my Norwooding (when I was 16); at the time the only thing that had me worried was a hairline recession, from NW1 to NW1.5 in the left temple only.

Today, I still have almost the same hairline, with a bit more recession in the previously unaffected temple (right one).
However, my overall density is FAR from being the one I had, I have diffuse thinning on my entire scalp except obviously the back & sides.

Minoxidil is not gonna help me since:
- I used it from Jan 2020 until August 2020, except for some hairline enhancements, didn't help with the minuaturization
- It gives me headaches & increased BPM.

According this 2 year background with the NW Reaper, I think that I still have a year before hitting the point of no return, meaning that long term friends will start to notice something is different with my hair & that I'm balding, since my crown is also getting a bit worse than it was initially (for now it looks like a regular cowlick for normies)

Because of all this, I'm thinking about starting Fin, but I'm kind of worried since I'm 18.
What do you guys think? Should I take the risk?

See a dermatologist and seek help
If you can’t obtain good results then try to get fin

fin is fine, assuming you're not a giga latebloomer. People start at 17 even

It depends on how you are developed for your age is.
Does your face still look childish? Do you have a beard? How about male facial structures? Body hair? And no fun penis size?

my face looks low trust because of browridge & square jaw
I have a patchy beard, I never let it grow up but you can see the patchy stubble when I don't shave it for 2 days
I have normal body hair (armpits, dick & legs)
no fun penis size
tall

Don't take my advice for granted and do your research, but here's what I would do in your situation.
If you think, that you still have some androgen development left due to your age:

for the next few years RU58841 + Minoxidil + Ketozolin Shampoo + Dermaroll 1mm + Biotin + a good Multivatamin + safe 50$€ per month for a hairtransplant in Turkey that may be needed
Start Finasteride when your overall development is ready for it.

But speak to a specialist, maybe he can give you Fin right away, it's difficult to say from far away.

Dont take Fin, PFS is real and some on this site have it (myself included) from even just minimal usage of 2 weeks
