I honestly developed it within 5 days of starting. In my case, I knew because my nipples began itching, and then they would hurt when touched by my shirt and when I tried to sleep at night. After a week, I could feel a few lumps in each pec. Obviously, I stopped propecia, and all of this went...

I wouldn't even bother with treatments. You are already very receded, and you look awesome with a buzz cut and facial hair anyways. Your hair is dark, and you look pretty manly, which means that the close cropped hair suits you (in the Jason Statham sort of way). No homo. Just shave and live...

I only see the two pictures from July, but based on those, your hair is looking strong and healthy. You might be right that you have started losing diffusely, but I can't tell from the pictures. Even if you are, it seems to me that you are more than a few years away from having to even...

Sorry to say it, but the chances of it being Telogen Effluvium are very, very small. The thinning is right in your crown and working its way down the middle. I know your dad has thick hair, but what about his brothers? You have no bald relatives? You can try to wait it out and reduce your stress to see if...

Lucky man.

As everyone else said, it honestly looks good, man. And somehow, it looks better than the pics of you with a buzz. Your head looks rounder, your face looks younger, you look more fit. You are definitely set with the head shaving. GL.

Hey Supe, Have the sides of your head thinned as well? Meaning, the hair above your ears, which is normally thick even on completely bald men. It's hard to tell, but it appeared that way from one of the pictures. If the sides of your hair have thinned, then something other, or in addition...

Hey buddy, At 18, I wouldn't solely rely on this board for diagnosis and advice. You should have a dermatologist look at your hair first, just to make sure that you are in the first stages of male-pattern loss, and that it's not something else. The other possible causes of hair loss are...

That looks like a normal chest to me. I don't think you have anything to worry about. The type of gyno that people should worry about is the kind where you can feel the development of a "marble" type growth under their nipple. These are troublesome because if they develop and stick around...

Obvious improvement. You respond well to minoxidil. Stay consistent, and studies show that most men should remain above the baseline even by year 5. So, it's like practically stopping balding in its tracks for 5 years. Not bad!

I think diffuse is far, far worse. When I grow my hair out, you can't even tell that I'm losing it. At most, you might think my crown is starting to become somewhat questionable. However, I shaved my hair down last week, and I was horrified to see in pictures with a flash that I am diffuse...

Hi Leviathan, Proscar, Minoxidil, and Nizoral are the only proven treatments, so you're doing everything you can. Minoxidil does not have any permanent sides. It doesn't have any sides period. There is no harm in using it if you feel that it's giving you any benefit. Proscar (finasteride)...

It's probably nothing. 18 year olds get pimples all the time. Most people get them through their early 20s. I doubt scalp pimples is a sign of hairloss - dermatologists certainly don't list it as one. I get pimples in and around my beard hair. Does that mean that I'm losing my beard hair? I...

Why are you asking this? Are you balding for certain? As far as I can tell, for those people who can handle finasteride well and get no sides, 80% maintain for 10+ years. There are a small percentage, perhaps 10%, that see deterioration at around 5 years, and another 10% that really don't get much...

Re: Whowahhh's Story - (Mid 20's /adding Dutas) The pics w/out the flash are amazing. How do you style your hair like that? I have more coverage up top, but I can never style it for that much coverage. Very nice.
