22 and thinning

I am 22 years old, and will turn 23 in September.  I have been experiencing hair loss since I was 20 years old & losing all my hair is my biggest fear.  Getting a hair transplant is something I think I’ll have to get eventually..but before I do that, I have been contemplating starting finasteride 1mg daily for quite some time now but before I do that I wanted expert’s advice on the same.

PS: I have some pimples/inflammation on my donor region (back of my head) & am treating the above already using the keta 2% shampoo 

In short my questions are:

1. What supplements (Multi-Vitamins/Biotin etc..) I should start with?

2. Should I start consuming finasteride 1mg daily now? and start minoxidil too??

3. Questions on Finasteride:-

   • If I start taking Finasteride, do I have to keep taking it forever?

   • Read online about “shedding phase” that people experience once they are on finasteride 

     • How often does it happen, is it something that will repeat itself over and over again?

Finasteride daily is the best medication for genetic hair loss in a young man.  A few men might get shedding when starting it, but that subsides in a month or two.  Medications for genetic balding like finasteride, are a lifetime commitment.
