21 here, been slowly diffuse thinning on top since 19 (went to two derms who said I started thinning), been on finasteride for 6 months (5mg cut into 4), and occasionally (once or twice a week) I put some nizoral on my scalp in the shower for about 4 minutes and rinse. How am I doing so far? I sadly don't...

Temples look fine. Obvious diffuse thinning on top of scalp. Hop on finasteride and nizoral immediately in order to maintain hairline, and possibly thicken. Re asses after 6-8 months, if hair is still thin, then add Minoxidil to routine. Good luck and don't freak out over the shed you will most likely...

Sorry, they say "Mid scalp" as in not the sides.

Telogen Effluvium suggests that hair loss and thinning is limited to the scalp and crown area though? EDIT: I think I'm going to stop coming back here for responses as the majority of you will probably continue to say that I am in denial and balding indefinitely, causing me unneeded anxiety...

I took some close ups with a DSLR Canon camera with flash of my scalp and could not find a single miniaturized hair (one that looks like a 3-4 day beard hair). The sides and the back of my head are not thinning whatsoever. Only my scalp feels thinner and looks more see through (something that...

Saw my surgeon today as a follow up for my ankle, and I asked her if hair thinning was a side effect. She laughed and said she's heard this many many times from her patients 3 months after a surgery and told me hair loss and thinning is normal because I had a major surgery. Still going to see...

I pray that you are all wrong. I'll be back in a few months. Didn't end up shaving my head. Inspected the crowns of my friends, and they all look similar to mine in the light.

Well It's my birthday today, and It's been hijacked by increasing paranoia, depression and anxiety over losing my hair spontaneously at my early 20's, when I was always known as the kid with the most hair throughout high school. Thick, long, almost gross, bushy hair. I'm shaving my head...

Okay, lets say I am. How do I keep my hair till my 40's?

May seem like denial, but I refuse to believe that I'm balding at the age of 20 when this is completely unheard of in my family at this age. This thinning appeared after a MAJOR TRAUMATIC PERIOD in my life which included a mental breakdown, multiple life stressors and a MAJOR SURGERY (all...

Such a harsh reply. "YOU ARE BALDING AND YOUR HAIR IS DECAYING" First off; You aren't a doctor, so the ignorant certainty in your statement is obnoxious. Second; I'm a guy who went through incredible amounts of trauma the past few months of my life, and you have absolutely no consideration...

Dude, you suck.

He did a thing with his scissors sideways for a good amount of time all over my scalp when I asked him to "thin thin thin thin". Are you 100% it's thinning when taking into consideration the fact that I had a breakdown of the highest degree 2 months ago, and have no genetic probability to go...

Why are other people in this forum telling me "YES YOU ARE BALDING 100%" I was in a great mood today Until another dude came in here and told me otherwise. How can they be sure so 100% without taking into consideration the facts? They are literally just telling me "yep, balding"

I consider your reassurance an early birthday gift. Thank you for calming me down. Just took a shower and no hair falls out whatsoever (couldn't even find one in the drain or on my hands, or towel) Either way I booked an appointment with my family doctor and I will be bringing up to him...
