Hello, I(M24) noticed a slight recession on my left temples about 6 months ago. I have been having a really, really hard time with it, worrying about it constantly. For the most part, the left temple hasn’t gotten much worse over the past 6 months. I can’t tell if I just noticed or even if I’m delusional, but even though my right temple has lost less hair in overall area, I think its thinning out farther than my left(my left is thick to where it has receded too), which worries me even more. I tried finasteride for like five days and had debilitating brain fog and my dick just turned off, and didn’t recover for a month. I tried saw palmetto, and I was not expecting any side effects, but after a week on it I swear to god I had ED came back. I purposely waited till I fully recovered from fin to try it, so there wouldn’t be and crossover of side effects. I know a lot of people will say it’s in my head, but I can tell you for a fact, it absolutely was not. So my options are, try oral fin, maybe the 3 in 1 from ro or hims, or just microneedling. My preference would be micro needling as I seem to be very prone to medicine’s side effects, but my main goal is to not limit hair loss. Would the 3 in 1 and microneedling be a good combo? Or am I delusional to think that would save me some time until I’m at least 30. I have always had a small recessions in my temples for years, but 6 months ago was the point where I actively noticed it had changed size. Over the past 6 months there is not much difference.
