So do you imply an irregular NW2?

@NickyA are scalp biopsies covered by medical coverage via a dermatologist or is that gonna have to be out of pocket? as for that dosage of finasteride. sounds like a smaller dose than the normal person who needs it. any reason for that? that's a concern if you started a customized low dose finasteride and...

one extra for examination. this is my wee hours of the morning bed head.

thank you for the answer. two more. side shots for right and left. only my grandpa is a NW7. cousins, uncles and my biological father all clocked in at around Norwood 1 and 2 max. not all family members are known however. i also am told by a local barber I have "pretty good thickness". not sure...

it's been awhile since I posted here. not sure how long exactly but this is my hairline at officially 30. concerns?

is that a sign of responding well to treatment? I've noticed once I started the big 3 there is new hair regrowth along my entire hairline. but my crown I'm still not sure about, it looks swirly and different compared to before.

hi. thanks for your point of view. but those pictures are now somewhat outdated. there's been some changes since then, lots of new jet black hairs are sprouting and it looks like if they continue to grow at this healthy pace my new hairline could land at a Norwood 1.5 if that exists. I'd settle...

hey there! thanks for your reply. I've been away again. I'm officially on the big 3 now after finally getting a dermatologist to give me 1mg finasteride and more prescription strength 2% Ketoconazole. I also have plenty (5 months supply) of Kirkland brand 5% Minoxidil. she said I'm a Norwood 2...

sorry for the late reply. I've been busy. anyway thank you for all the helpful advice and tips. just one more thing. I took a couple new pictures of my crown with my hair parted in daytime and evening lighting, tons of dandruff after a 2% Nizoral treatment, my hair is parted but dry this time...

ah thanks for clarifying. so then how does finasteride specifically single out dht in the scalp and not the serum in the body?

I'm inexperienced so I don't know some of the stuff you just said.... but I did notice that last part. I personally have experienced hair growth above my temples and currently at my lowest hairline (the windows peak) on both right and left sides, especially when I have topical 5% minoxidil...

what's the difference between serum dht and normal dht? also @ OP. your hairline is phenomenal for 41 years old! I don't know what the other hair condition you have is but you look much closer to a Norwood 1 than a 1.5 to me, my temples are about 1.5 to 2 inches above my low center hairline and...

so does that mean inflammation is just as dangerous as dht or is it a step below it when it comes to male pattern baldness?

why would propecia cause burning breast tissue?

from what I understand via research, lifting weights only becomes a problem when you consume foods and drinks or supplements and protein poweders that directly or indirectly increases your entire body's overall testosterone and/or dht. steroids is another thing that does it as well. so if you...
