Hey, just turned 23 and I've been wondering lately whether I should start thinking about seeing a dermatologist or giving the Minoxidil+Nizoral combo a try. I've always had a big forehead but I kinda feel like these last two or three years my hairline has been slowly but steadily losing some of its baby hairs at the temples, what worried me now tho is that I've noticed I can now see a bit through my hairline and into my scalp when I look at the mirror using its bright integrated lights. However I don't really feel like I'm losing a lot of hair, I'd say between 15-30 when I dont shower and 30-60 when I do, since I usually lose 5 or 6 hairs each time I rinse my hair using shampoo. My crown looks great.
What would you say my norwood stage is? Is it worth it to consider starting a finasteride treatment in the next 6-9 months or nah ? I'll post how it looks like under harsh lighting in the next post, which is what's been worrying me the most lately)
Family on my dad's side have always had awesome hair, my grandpa died at 88 with a norwood 1 and my dad is 52 and rocks the same awesome hairline. However my maternal grandfather started going bald around his 28 or 30s. My maternal grandmother's brother started balding noticeably by his late 30s-early 40s, but his son is 44 and has a norwood 2.
