(u can zoom in a lot on these)
it looks like my hair is miniaturised to f***, but the follicles still exist. i have also noticed that my body hair (chest/arms) have been thinning...
yeah i also got prescribed oral minoxidil but it's only 0.5mg once a day which i thought was nearly pointless. i've just been taking that in addition to topical min 2x a day
well it's been like 2 months and i don't really think there's any difference unfortunately. i'll keep going obviously but those miniaturised hairs do not grow whatsoever. it's like i can see my scalp is covered in those basically dead hairs when i zoom in but they haven't responded to anything...
doesn't look like he has the male pattern baldness gene though. most guys that say diet is related to hairloss say that because they think a poor diet will bring on male pattern baldness faster or you'll be much more prone to hairloss with a poor diet WHILE having the male pattern baldness gene
yeah i'm looking into getting trt. i also realise my hair is fucked but i'm gonna at least try some treatments for like 6 months and if nothing happens then yeah i'll just accept the incel life
tried to get some more pics to show the vellus hair i'm talking about, kinda hard to get a high quality pic of them though so it doesn't look quite as promising in these photos as it does to me IRL.
this vellus hair is like the only thing that makes me think it's possible to regrow something...
topical caffeine? did i read that right?
and yeah i agree with the rest of what you said. everyone keeps telling me that DHT is the main culprit but knowing what my hygiene, diet and other lifestyle factors were like compared to before i had any issues with my hair, i'm not exactly convinced...
asked the Doctor for some finasteride today and he prescribed it, holding off on trt/test e for another month or two to see if i can raise my T levels naturally. i still see a sh*t load of weak/faded hairs on my scalp so i'm praying i can bring those back to life. ill post some updates if this actually works
i mean i'll ask my doctor tomorrow and see what he thinks, i'll also double check the blood results and report back but i'd happy to take the risk of worsening my current hair in order to get my T levels back to normal asap to see what happens, because i don't know how long it will take to get...
yeah i take 5000 UI of vit d daily from supplements, i also just sit outside in the sun for 20-30mins a day which should be like 10k UI. i'm going back to the doctor tomorrow to see some more bloodwork results since we did a second round of testing just to double check things. potentially if i...
just buzzed it a few days ago, also i added another picture specifically to show those "vellus" hairs i'm talking about. the "vellus" hair picture is showing the area right around my hairline/front section where in the first picture it looks like it's almost completely bald, they're also all...
hey guys so over the past 12-18 months i have lost an extreme amount of hair and i'm just trying to figure out what's going on. i'm 23 years old and went through a rough period, over the past 12-18 months i ate like sh*t, washed my hair like every 2 months, didn't exercise and so on. i started a...
