Please offer advice

Cowlick. Stop worrying and get the f*** off of this website for the next 3 years. After some time on this website you will start imagining things that are not even there. Your hair is strong with no recession.

From my perspective you are starting to thin. Your crown looks like mine. See a dermatologist to get confirmation bro.

Did you go private to see a dermatologist?
I have been to the doctors twice and they said I have dermatitis in my crown and proscribed me some cream/ shampoo

What do you mean do I go private? I’ve been to three derms. Here’s my crown looks like yours a little.

What did they say for you to do then? I asked if I could be referred and they said that they don’t think that I need to. So really I would need to go private to see one

They put me on minoxidil at first then after 4 months on that with hair declining they put me on finasteride. Are you losing a lot of hair? Take a picture in the sunlight and that will be a good indicator.

Maybe you’re not thinning.

I’m not noticing a considerable amount of shedding. For example, in the shower I maybe see an odd few. And if I run my hand through my hair, I may get the odd one sometimes, but I did have my hair permed and that seemed to make the strands weaker.

I’m wondering whether the dandruff and scaly scalp from dermatitis, although only mild, may have caused me to loose some hair

In the images your natural cowlick is more in the top of the scalp, normally is more behind, more in the vertex area

Thanks for your input. Is this then a good or bad thing?

 

[Armando Jose]

Nor bad nor good, only uncommon, but acording to my theory cowlick and front line are the areas more prone to suffer common hair loss because the hairs are less in contact among them.

In your opinion, do you see anything I should be worried about at this stage?

Try to mantain it, but perms are not suitable for it.
