Hi been on finasteride for 5 years now. I'm 25 years old and I've been dealing with AGA since 2015. Both of my uncle of nw7s and so I've just been at this level for years now. It has caused me pain such as years of anxiety and depression. I don't know what else I could do. I've tried minoxidil but it burned my scalp so I stopped and I just take finasteride every day. I just would like my hair back it makes me very upset. Can I get transplant or since my pattern has not shown itself yet I can't?
