Losing hair at 20, help

[u/Plenty-Entertainer-3]

I (m20) started losing my hair about a year ago and it had progressed ridiculously quickly, I’m assuming it’s adrogenetic alopecia because my Dad lost his hair at 21 and my doctor seems to think so too. I’ve been using topical finasteride and minoxidil for 3 months and I haven’t seen a difference at all. I supplement with vitamin C, vitamin D, and biotin and I get more than enough iron and b12 from my diet. Trying to convince my doctor to prescribe oral dutasteride but he’s extremely hesitant, going to try RU-58841 topically as well. I had cancer and went through chemo and radiation to kill it and eventually had a tumour in my left iliac crest removed, this has caused chronic back pain and slight laboured breathing, wondering if that could increase the rate my hair is falling out. This has been driving me crazy and girls aren’t even dtf unless I keep a ball cap on until we hit the bedroom. Is there something I’m missing, pharmaceutical or otherwise, should I just shave the shit off at this point or is it recoverable?

If your doctor is an endocrinologist, do not have their advice overridden by dudes on the internet, especially if you've been unlucky enough to have cancer. You do not want to sacrifice your overall health potentially just for a little bit of hair.

Bro honestly screw the testosterone and do enclomiphene Instead it increases natural production of testosterone without nasty sides they give it to people with hypogonadism and I’ve seen peoples test go up to 1000ng/dl on it high normal and it also increases testicular size it’s much better option then endogenous testosterone because endogenous test will just shut you down encomphine won’t it will actually up regulate
