http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwC5WE2FizM Going bald is a huge deal in the african american community and you guys obviously don't know what you are talking about. That is a video of a guy basically making fun of ne-yo for going bald nonstop, can someone find me a video of white guy doing that...

If a girl thinks you are 17 she probably isn't interested in you sexually or otherwise. Not about confidence in that regard. I have been getting screwed by the same thing. I can't grow a single hair on my face and finasteride will probably delay me ever getting a beard for the next ten years. In...

The most important part about determining BDD is the impaired social functioning, it is not just obsessing about hairloss or some other flaw. I dropped out of college freshman year because I couldn't take being seen anymore. That was 4 years ago..I should be graduating now. That was after...

Why get a diagnosis online from people on a forum? Not even a top notch hair transplant doctor can tell from photos. Go to a dermatologist or a hair transplant doctor to get the answers you are looking for.

Sounds like you are suffering from BDD(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_dysmorphic_disorder). A good resource for BDD is http://www.bddcentral.com If you feel this describes how you are feeling than know that there are successful treatments to get obsessive thoughts out of your mind. I or no...

A reasonable amount of money is fair.

I was watching this show pawnstars on the history channel and noticed something interesting. It is about this family (grandfather, father, and son) that run a pawn shop in Vegas. The grandfather is quite old and has a full head of grey hair. His son is in his 40's and shaves his head and is bald...

My juvenile hairline was never as filled in as your drawing. After examining the hair on the hairline with a magnifying glass there are random hairs in the temple area and they are not miniaturized. The temple hairs never really got thin they just stopped growing. I will get a professional...

Alright then. I will try to find somewhere to get a test. I actually sent my story and pictures to that website too. My hair looks thinning in the pictures? Like the derm didn't think so but she never properly tested..I need to get tested to be sure.

That would be nice(the link). I'm hoping to find a doctor on my medical coverage which might limit my options. Like is there a chance that they find no miniturization now..but the process happens soon after? Would I need to get tests regularly?

I see. Alot of thinners? Most of the men in my moms side of the family have no thinning in the crown area but receded hairlines(they are quite old and its not too bad). Thanks for the advice. I guess the only way to be sure is to get a miniturization test. Or maybe even a blood test..but I'm not...

Do you have a strong history of male pattern baldness in your family?

Thanks for the advice. I will try to call around. First derm said my scalp wasn't thinning but she was kinda lousy..gotta get to a hair specialist. By any chance did you have any major sheds or anything else while it was developing?

Understood. Argh, I don't know what to do. My family history is a toss up its hard to tell if I will go bald or not. My family checks my hair and they believe I won't be going bald in the near future. Guess I should wait some more.

So in your experience it was very aggressive and progressed fast? There were no stable periods of a year or more? My hairline has been pretty stable for a while now..I guess I gotta wait some more time see how things go.
