Taking finasteride during puberty

[iblamemandible7]

Guys, I cannot take this shit anymore. My retrograde alopecia has gotten so bad the sides of my head are starting to feel wispy, and my corners are starting to recede past norwood 2. I need to do something asap. I've been researching this shit for months and this is my plan

• Topical finasteride 0.01% - at this concentration scalp dht should be reduced a good amount while systemic dht should only be reduced by >15%
• DIM or arimidex - to counteract any uncontrolled estrogen from finasteride (Dim seems more hair safe but less likely to work, while arimidex is much less hair safe but more likely to work)
• Minoxidil 5% - been using for 2 months and my hair has only worsened, but will keep using it for life

Do you guys think this is a good idea? I'm ok with side effects, last time I tried finasteride I got gyno and ED but fuck it, gyno can be removed with surgery and ED is fine with me


My main concerns:

1. This treatment isn't strong enough to treat my hair loss
2. I stunt androgenic features, like androgenic mandible growth in late puberty, clavicle growth, most importantly height growth
3. I raise my estrogen and shut my growth plates

If you aren't concerned about sides just do dut

Oral will always be better

How old are you again?

17 almost 18

The problem is men in my family tend to finish maturing at ~20

People often mistake me for like 14 because of my "baby face" and narrow clavicles, I'm scared of ruining my development by blocking androgens

Any topical DHT blocker is water, just buy RU

I mean blocking dht through my whole body doesn't sound smart if I'm still developing yk

Was it topical or oral finasteride? Im also losing hair and im 18

Dht has no effect on bones
It only effects the penis growth
There was a study of twins that one of them was 5alpha def and they had same bones
And your fucking 18 you are prob done growing a long time ago

The only way lowering dht can affect ur height/ bones is the slight negligible increase in e2

It was enough to give me gyno last time so I think I aromatize like crazy

Do you think it's safe with DIM or arimidex
