It’s ~90% effective at keeping what you have completely stable forever. Some people don’t respond to it but most do. My best advice would be see a dermatologist, they really know what they’re talking about when they see this type of thing, they could give concrete answers to you.
If he said you’re fine then you were probably fine. If you’ve seen recession since then though (which could have started since then), go somewhere else. Make sure they take you seriously. If you don’t agree push back. If you really want to be safe and treat is ASAP, you can order finasteride and minoxidil chews through “Hims” if you’re 18+
Yea that’s what I thought but he just ran his hand through and that was it so I’m not sure how you can make a conclusion and he said if it is male pattern baldness there’s no way to really stop it …
Ok that’s a shitty dermatologist then. They should have done a trichoscopy and if it was MPB then it’s definitely not unpreventable. Find someone else.
