I have been loosing my hair about a year now. I"m a 34 year old male. No family history of male pattern baldness. My brother, father, fathers brothers and my grandfather all have full head of hair. Only my mothers brother loss his hair early when he was in his 20's.
I have seen thinning over the entire scalp (sides of head and nape of neck). No pattern at all.
When my hair is dry, it appears normal. However, when wet it looks as though I have only a thin layer of hair over my entire head.
I have been on Propecia for 6.5 months, made no difference in my active shed rate.
I've had my blood checked. I have normal range of test,FSH, Iron ect.. Did an ANA test. Came back negative. I did a fugal test, also negative. I went to two derms. One did a biopsy. The results are: "There is no interface reaction involving epidermis or follicular units. Free pigment is no found within follicles. there is no peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrate. A normal compliment of histologically unremarkable follicles is present. No significant organisms are found on a PASD stain with appropriate fungal controls. A few lymphocytes are present in perifollicular array. They do not invade the follicular epithelium. There is no spongiosis or other change in the follicular epithelium associated with these cells."
Which basically says....No minaturaizing of folicle no swelling ect
My derm says he sees no sign of telegon effluvium, Alopecia Aretna, or male pattern baldness. He suggest nothing further. Even says to get off propecia if I would like.
My questions to you is, what would / is causing my hair loss? My stress level is as normal as it's always been. I've very laided back, so I don't stress about a lot. Therefore, I don't believe it's stress.
Have you ever heard of anything like this?
thank you for any help,
