Im a 26-year-old male dealing with Alopecia Areata. My dad is bald, and Im starting to bald too. The crown area is becoming more noticeable, and Im losing more hair in that pattern. Can you suggest something that might help at least slow down the process and keep me from going completely bald for the next 5 years?

I recommend you start using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down the progression of balding and maintain your hair for at least 5 years.
