I don't know for sure but it looks like the very early stages of thinning. Don't freak out, your hair still looks fine. Just see a dermatologist as soon as possible and get a definite answer. Your age is about the time when my crown started to thin, but I let it go and didn't get it checked out...

I switched from finasteride to dutasteride almost 2 years ago. I cant say it really improved anything. I was still slowly losing on finasteride, so my doctor let me switch to a genuine prescription of avodart .5 mg daily. The loss continued, but more noticeably in the frontal portion of my scalp. I've seen many threads...

I currently use concealers daily. It sucks because I use them as a crutch but they make me look not balding which is my ultimate goal. I used them all throughout my last relationship and didn't tell my girlfriend until 2.5 years in. She had no idea and didn't really know what concealers were; I...

whatever you do, do NOT switch cold turkey. I did that and it was the biggest mistake I've ever made.

I just turned 25. The transplant is holding up well and makes my life a whole lot easier. Nothing has really stopped my hairloss, but it is slow. My frontal scalp was fairly thick until I switched from finasteride to dutasteride. dutasteride has slowed the progression of my crown loss but I definitely noticed the...

It will likely only get worse unless you treat it. I'd get on finasteride right away as well as minoxidil. How is your crown/donor area? If you can hold those down you will be a good candidate for a transplant

I would be weary of any doctor that would agree to transplant your crown at age 21. Most will not even consider it until 35, others usually at least 30. I was in your exact situation with similar hair loss a few years ago when I was 21. It is very frustrating to have crown loss in your early 20s...

Dr Jeffrey Epstein. He's in Miami, and is debatably one of the best surgeons in the country

I have two schools of thought when it comes to replicel. As someone who is quickly losing his hair, what I read about replicel gives me some hope. However, I also trade equities part time, so of course I have taken some time to look at the company to see if it is worth investing in...

Been a couple months since I've been on these boards, mainly because I havent been freaking out as much about my hair. So here is the first relatively positive post: somewhere between 9-10 months in (I lost track) and thankfully shedding is not nearly as bad as in the beginning. Dont get me...

yes, it usually gets worse before it gets better. two months is not nearly enough time. also, for what its worth, your hair doesn't look any worse. maybe its the lighting but it actually looks a little better to me. keep it up its still early

whenever i sleep out i bend the pillow in half and lay on the bent part. so its basically only contacting the area below the crown where the hair is permanent and i dont put concealer. no one has ever asked why but if they do you just say being propped up stops you from snoring lol. Its...

Hey guys just an update since I see this thread still has some life: I'm still doing the treatment, on my eighth month. Still shedding, but its not as aggressive (slowly sheds throughout the day rather than handfuls of hair shedding in the shower). To answer some of your responses, I mean yes I...

a dermatologist should be able to give you an accurate diagnosis. thats the first doctor i went to when I realized i was thinning

looks like some thinning at the hairline and some minor thinning all over. you still have PLENTY of hair so don't freak out. Pretty much no one on here is a doctor so I would recommend going to see one to get a professional opinion. My unprofessional opinion would be to get on finasteride and...
