This chart shows that the longer an elderly man takes finasteride, the less the risk of prostate cancer over a 20 year time-frame. Like everything in medicine, there are always disputes, but less people die of prostate cancer if they are on finasteride.

I have been a long time fin user and recent Dutasteride user for the last few months. I’ve already spoken to the guy that’s done my dysport for years about trying oral minoxidil. I’m not interested in using it topically and have read some really encouraging and really recent literature lately on low dose oral Min for MAA. Is this a reasonable option?
Oral minoxidil can be very effective and is a good alternative to finasteride
What does your scar look like and what length can you hide it under? Like I usually get cut 3 on the sides and back, I have dark hair.
I had three hair transplants with strip surgeries. I can cut my hair to a one cut, and have no visible scar. Most people get just a line scar but 5% do get wider scars easily treated with Scalp Micropigmentation or wearing your hair slightly longer. Half of the hair transplants we do are with strip and the other half is with FUE and few patients complain of the scar as we are now using staples for the closures and they remain in for 3 weeks until the wound is healed. A minor inconvenience, I am told.
This is most likely Alopecia Areata. See a doctor and get treated as it can be reversed.
This after photo shows that in some men, finasteride can reverse frontal hair loss. This man was on the drug for one year
