I've noticed that my scalp is kind of visible when I'm out in direct sunlight. I've been masturbating since I was 13 and I'm now 15. Could this be related, and is it something I should be concerned about? Id really appreciate your advice.

I'm really curious about how well Finpecia works if I stick to using it for the rest of my life. Does it mean I won't lose any more hair? Also, I'm having a hard time deciding between Finpecia and Finax. Is one better than the other in terms of maintaining my hair?

Finpecia is a brand name for finasteride, which is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness. It is effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth in some individuals. However, it may not fully restore all lost hair. Consistent and long-term use of finpecia can help maintain the existing hair and prevent further hair loss. Both finpecia and finax contain the same active ingredient, finasteride. Therefore, they are equally effective in treating hair loss. The choice between finpecia and finax can depend on individual preferences and tolerability. It is important to follow the recommended dosage as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal results.
