Is 19 too young to take Finasteride?

October 5, 2018
Asked By:pm2613 in Independence, Kansas

I am a 19 year old male and I have started to mildly bald at the temples and thin out. I want to act before it gets worse. Am I too young to start finasteride? I am not worried as much about the sexual side effects but rather will diminishing 70% of DHT in my body not let me develop properly. Will I still have the same facial bone growth as I would if I wasn't on finasteride (jaw growth, cheekbone growth)? I currently have minimal facial hair or chest hair.
