    New Here - 36 - Just Curious To See If I'm Thinning - PICS

    I need to chill out, dude. Ever since I went to the dermatologist, and he confirmed it, it's making me neurotic. I keep looking in the mirror, pulling on the top of my head, to see how many hairs will come out. I'm Googling medical conditions which can cause hair loss. I'm wondering if I...

    New Here - 36 - Just Curious To See If I'm Thinning - PICS

    Dude, seriously, my girlfriend pointed it out to me. I went to the dermatologist; he told me if I didn't tell him, he wouldn't have noticed, but he did say I was starting to recede. I notice it if I look in the mirror. It's not noticeable, but I notice the difference, especially when I use gel...

    Ever since the dermatologist told me I'm in the beginning stages of receding, I'm obsessing over it. This type of behavior clearly isn't healthy. A part of me says, **** it, if I really recede in X amount of years, I'll shave it commando style. However, a part of me still would like to keep my...

    I went to the dermatologist on my lunch break. He told me I was in the beginning stages of receding, but if I didn't point it out, he wouldn't have noticed. He said I'd probably be Norwood 2 by the time I was 55-60. He did the hair pull test and thoroughly checked my scalp in a meticulous...

    Thanks. Yeah, that's the plan. I'm going to go next week. It's amazing how easily freaked out I became when my buddy told me that. You start to obsess and see things that may not be there.

    Thanks. Do you still think I should consult with a dermatologist? I read most of the site last night, so now I understand some of the acronyms. I became concerned because at my hairline there's still hair, obviously, but where's there's no hair (temple area), I noticed that there's some hair...

    Hey, First of all, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 36 years old and the other day my friend jokingly said I was thinning. I think it was due to my copious amounts of gel use. It tends to clump hair together. For the past 72 hours, I've been obsessing and not I'm much of a vain guy, but Google...
