I’m 19 and a late bloomer, if people were to look at me they would probably guess that I’m 16. My hairline has been receding for a year and I’m around a NW1 with the whole front of my hairline now miniaturized. Because I’m probably not done with puberty, is it a terrible idea to go on fin right now? Has anyone else who isn’t fully developed gone on fin and continued to develop? I’m just in a hard place right now because my hairline seems to be deteriorating so rapidly but at the same time I don’t want to stunt my body’s development. Any insight would be appreciated.

I have prescribed finasteride to men as young as 16 and have not seen growth stunted.

No, we have not identified all of the genes for balding. However, we are getting closer to finding the proteins that stimulate the anagen phase of the hairs that are sleeping in your balding area.

If we can identify all the bald genes, could we eradicate MPB? from tressless

Here are two pictures, one on the left showing the area where the skin died (necrosis) and the second photos showing the results after it healed many months later. A huge scar remained without hair. It is possible that this can be re-transplanted but better and more careful planning is critical.

I have only really lost majority of my hair at the crown, some came back due to dermarolling. I’m not on fin or min ( body to sensitive also plan on having kids in the next 4-5 years). It it possible that if I improve my heart health, I can get some more hair back on my crown? Heart Health is proven to effect crown.

The finding that people with pure crown balding get heart disease is an observation in a number of publications. Putting hair in the crown doesn’t impact your heart or change the statistics, sorry!

It does seem that some of our readers who take this medication have found that hair loss is a common side effect. There have also been many comments on BaldingBlog over the years since this was first posted 9 years ago.

I had 4,400 grafts done, and I am terribly scarred with cobblestoning of my skin. I have a heavily scarred recipient and donor area. Can this be reversed?

Unfortunately, the answer here is no. Reversing 4,400 grafts would be an enormous challenge, and it would take far longer to try to reverse it than having it done in the first place. Scalp Micropigmentation may be your only option, but I would have to see you to understand the deformities you are asking about. We have performed Scalp MicroPigmentation in many people with similar problems as you have described, and it works very well (see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/)
