So the general consensus is that I should get on finasteride as soon as possible, right? I've been in denail long enough. The right side of my head is obviously thin and although it isn't noticeable to anyone yet, it's obvoius to me. I think i will drop nizoral because I think it aggravates my...

So I think I damaged and lost hair from Nizoral. Anyway, is folliculitis the general known precursor to hair loss and male pattern baldness? Do people that suffer from male pattern baldness all endure folliculiltius before the hair falls out? I've noticed that my hair loss is predominantly where I have folliculitis only...so I...

So I have about 4 or 5 pimples on my crown and in the middle of my head. These are the areas in which I have thin/bald spots. What should I do? I assume the folliculitis is what's killing my hair. What can I do about this? Nizoral seems to have exacerbated it and made my folliculitis worse! I...

Yeah as of now, I still guess my hair is manageable. When I brush it down, people think I'm crazy when I say I'm balding. It's strange how thick it looks with it brushed down. Yet when I brush it back, you can clearly see in pictures that I have a problem. I still wonder if it could be hair loss...

I used nizoral for 2 weeks as prescribed by my doctor, and I think I lost a decent amount of hair. My crown seems to be more prominent now and now I have a bald patch in the front that wasn't there two weeks ago.

Here's my hair after 14 days of Nizoral usage. I had some intense folliculitis 2 days ago and there are some zoomed pictures of that. In some pictures my hair looks thick. I doubt there was any improvement over 14 days, but i definitely will not be using this daily anymore. I am not sure if the...

The doctor that prescribed me the 2% nizoral said to use it daliy for two weeks, so once that is up, Ill move back to 3-4 times per week. The only side effect I experienced so far has been increased scalp sensitivity.

What explains such a drastic difference in my hair appearance? The first is baseline prior to using any nizoral with oily wet hair. The second is with my 2nd week of daily nizoral usage and my hair combed back out of the shower. The hair is combed back in both of these pictures the same way...

What is going on with my hairline? Do I have standard male pattern baldness? I have what seems to me as a strange recession, but I imagine not everyone goes through male pattern baldness according to the Norwood scale.. Also, what am I supposed to do in terms of styling? I brush my hair down but it just isn't presentable and when I...

I may regret this eventually, but I'm going to avoid taking finasteride until absolutely necessary. It is very expensive and seems to invoke a lot of side effects. I have a prescription for generic nizoral (2%) and I will be using it daily for the first two weeks and then 3-4 times per week for the...

Would it be wise to order Finpecia? Where should I procure Finastiride from? I've always had a very high hairline with partially exposed temples. However, my right (your left) temple seems to be going. I'd like to just thicken up and regain density in the thin areas and keep everything else of...

Any opinions? What type of baldness am I going through? I've been using Nizoral 2% on a regular basis for the past week. I read that the 2% version works as well as Minoxidil. Any chance that I could accomplish something by using strictly nizoral on a regular basis? My crown is pretty good, but...

Here are the descriptions for each photo so you can understand the state of my hair: 01.jpg - wet oily dirty hair brushed back. 02.jpg - dry oily dirty hair brushed back. 03.jpg - wet oily hair brushed back again 04.jpg - wet oily hair brushed forward. Crown is visible here 05.jpg - Wet...

Thanks for the reply. I have a picture of myself at 5 years old. I will scan that in and maybe someone can determine whether or not it's male pattern baldness. I feel as if it looks thin even at 5 years old (I'm 25 now) so I'm still hesitant to take any drugs. I normally do not wear my hair this way and it looks...

Here is a picture with my hair brushed back out of the shower. I normally never brush my hair this way and do not see this hairline. However, this hairline looks pretty bad to me.
