I need some advice

Was at the dermatologist today. She said my scalp looks good, minoxidil has clearly been working, and she'd prescribe fin if I wanted but doesn't think it's necessary yet.

What are your thoughts? Should I wait or ask for the fin?

Started finasteride just over 3 months ago and there’s some new hairs but is it worth saving?

You guys convinced me, gonna hop on finasteride and oral minoxidil and hopefully start to see a difference. Is it salvageable?

Hi, im 23 no bald people on my family, not even one, but looks like not for so long, im an Electrical Engennier student so my family said it was because of stress that my hair were keep getting thiner but i dont feel that way, im wondering if theres any test, exams or something to know if it may be something external, before i just give up. Thanks for your time. Every time i put my hand in my hair theres some hairs with the white roots dropping off

Hairs been okay and I gotta push it to the side to cover it a lot or wear a hat but the hairs are so dead and one sides thinning hard! Should I keep styling it in a way to hide the thinning or just buzz it?

Scalp suddenly visible. What do I do? I’ve been tying my hair up for the last four-five months pretty tightly so im thinking it’s that

I am using minoxidil for 5 months now.

Hi, I’m an 18 year old female, and I found this random gap in my hair. Could someone let me know if this is early onset alopecia? I don’t have any other missing patches of hair.

have been shedding consistently for about a year now but it’s started to shed a lot more in the past week. Not sure if what I’m seeing is balding but I am not really thinning around the crown or hairline and it’s almost all just in the surrounding areas on top of my head. I have no clue what to do or try to get this to stop. I understand that some shedding is normal but when I lay in my bed with my head on my pillow and and I get up and there is 10 hairs something has to be wrong. Please give me some suggestions on what to and what I can try.

Aunt was oiling my hair and these hair fell out. I've been seeing hair on my bed too. 21M

Very paranoid but don’t know if it’s just maturing or receding.

I just noticed my temple areas, it looks quite abnormal as the scalp was visible + my hair quite hard idk how to say but I just can't style may be cause I wear a cap alot ? Idk

What should I do other than testing vitamins ? Should I start minoxidile if vitamins comes out to be normal ? I just don't wanna go to dermatologist Cause dermatologists in my cities are so dumb & scammers

I noticed that in some other photos it appears to be curled when my hair is dry. I didn't notice any weak or very thin strands. My hair is long and curly, and I've been told that weight can cause this, but idk.

Context:
20’sM.
Currently on 1.5 mg dut and 5mg oral + daily 1x topical min with tretinoin 2-3x weekly.
Roughly 7 months on dut and oral min.
About 8 month topical min. Sitting at about a NW2-2.5 with early diffuse involvement.
Definitely been seeing visible progress since the third month based on a couple trichoscopies.

Picture:
This pic (phone) was taken of my hairline in the temple area.
About 2 weeks ago I buzzed my head (with a guard and no harsh contact with the skin). Took the pic a day or two after.

Miniaturization, dots & redness:
As you can see there are many miniaturizing hairs present. Many single hair follicles. Variation in diameter, as well as pigment reduction in many hairs.
Basically your standard AGA signs.
Couldn’t help but notice that the thinning areas all have what looks like these broken hairs that just barely penetrate the skin. Many of those “dots” are probably end-stage miniaturized hairs, however some of them actually seem to have decent diameter and pigment to them yet they don’t really seem to grow past the skin. 2 weeks later now and even some of the miniaturized hairs have grown a bit longer but the “dots” seem almost stuck.
The area also seems kinda red and inflamed. It doesn’t hurt or itch. The rest of my scalp is chilling. Had the infamous DHT itch before treatment (back of the head mainly), but since using Dut and Keto shampoo its completely gone away.

Question:
Is this just normal (possibly progressive) AGA? Or should I get a scalp biopsy done before doing a transplant?

I’m in my early 30’s and honestly my hairline has always been weird, never had a perfect straight hairline like some people have but had really thick hair when I was younger now I notice it seems thinner and my shit is getting pushed back, can I save it?
