Asked By:A.R.20 in Cairo, 11

I am nearly 20 years old but recently when my hair got long again I have found out that my hair started thinning a very little bit from the crown and the dividers which are on the corner, I have gone to a doctor at then he wrote me minoxidil and Propecia. The thing is that right now I am afraid to take minoxidil and Propecia due to its side effects so I am thinking about having a PRP injection so what is the best thing to do ?
