Should I take finasteride or evening primrose oil for hair loss?

hairloss007
I am 19 years old my hair loss started when I was 16 , I immediately go to dermatologist and he said I have male pattern hair loss. He didn't prescribe finesteride because I was only 16 he just give me 2% zinc shampoo and a multivitamin for 2months I did it for 2 months nothing changed but shampoo was good. Last week I go to herbal doctor he gave me Evening primerose oil 1capsule a day for 6 months. Will Evening primerose oil capsule helps to slow down my hair loss? Help me I'm balding :(
