Hello everyone I am a 20-year-old young man from Denmark who has started to experience recession in the temple areas. I think it started when I was about 18 years old. On Monday I am going to have a consultation with my doctor because I have thought about starting to take Finasteride I have had a consultation with a hair transplant doctor in Denmark who has told me that I suffer from MPB. However I am very scared of possible side effects. What should I do?
