Can topical finasteride be taken into consideration or theres not enough studies for long-term health safety? I know it might sound weird but I have problem with swallowing pills

What about a FUT procedure about 2000 grafts? Would this allow me to save grafts for future FUE procedures? I was thinking about Machine gun kelly case, he had done FUT procedure at 23-24 years of age. Now he's 31 and still keeps his hair full. Also I have a doctor near me which is ABHRS and ISHRS certified that specializes in FUT procedures and I was thinking in contacting him.

Yes I've shaved completely bald, on the pictures below its like first week of growth. As I said looks terrible on me and I wont accept myself with that look

What about 0.2mg? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10495374/ This studdy suggest that 0.2mg/0.5mg dose is as effective as 1mg dosage?

But there are many people saying that you should not be on medication before hair transplant, also I can't restore my frontal hairline with finasteride since there is no hair at all, it looks terrible. Would it not be better to get a surgery with like 2000 grafts to restore my hairline and jump on finasteride,minoxidil,ketoconazole shampo and once a year PRP?

Story: Experiencing balding since like 17, could see hair on my school books. Now Im 23(in august 24), tried shaving my head but it looks like disaster and many people has told me that. I can't longer live with hair like this so I need to do something about it. I don't smoke nor drink. I've tried minoxidil before but it made my scalp really itchy and flaky, like insane dandruff. Haven't used finasteride. I have literally bald spots on front of my head so I wont be even able to recover this with medication and I don't have motivation to use finasteride if I don't have hair in my front, also doctors said it's better to not use meds before surgery evaluation. I was contacting some doctors/clinics and they said they are willing to perform the surgery on me. Only HLC refused because of my age. My budget is 1.5eur per graft at max. Can someone give me advice what to do?
