Diffuse Thinning started and I'm losing my sh*t
- Thread starter Ksuyash12
- Start date
I'm from India, here is no scalp biopsy ( available in only big metropolitan city) derm will only prescribe Minoxidil and biotin as i had save kinda problem last year.
Kysuyash12, if your are really experiencing diffuse thinning, I'd say try not to go on Finasteride first because of the horrible and possibly permanent side effects.
How long have you noticed the "diffused thinning"?
Minoxidil users do experience some shedding.
Since you mentioned having problems with dandruff, I would recommend you use a 2% Ketoconazole Shampoo. It helps for Hairloss and especially dandruff

Well it's 3 months since i started seeing severe hairfall. It was all around from bed to table and this scared the sh*t out of me. Without wasting much time i started Minoxidil 5% and dermarolling 0.5 mm. Since i also had huge dandruff so decided to shave my head and started my regime.
I also had no plan for finasterid at such early age ( am 18 presently).
It's been just 25 days using minoxidil so there is still hope.
But I'll try everything to keep my hair for at least 5 6 year (haven't been in a collage till) and then will think about transplant.
Something that will give you almost instant results to stop your hair fall is to use a Caffeine-based Shampoo. It's truly amazing what caffeine can do for hair loss.
I recommend you use Alpecin C1 Shampoo and Alpecin Caffeine Liquid. Both are really low cost, yet very effective.
Hair requires 10x more energy during the anagen (growth) phase, and if it doesn't have enough (which is what DHT does - it cuts down this energy supply to your hair) you end up having thin hair that eventually falls off. Caffeine-based Topicals like the above I mentioned provide your hair with this energy. So it's vital you use it ASAP.
Those 2 Alpecin products I mentioned are recommended to be used everyday.
But since you also need to use a 2% Ketoconazole Shampoo which will combat your dandruff easily as well as possibly restore some of your hair (since your hairloss could have possibly be caused by seborrheic dermatitis/dandruff) due to its anti-androgenic properties it will also help to combat local DHT on your scalp.
(DHT by the way is the hormone that causes hairloss).
I would recommend you use Alpecin C1 Shampoo 5 times a week and in the remaining 2 days of the week I would recommend you use the 2% Ketoconazole Shampoo. These 2 alone will really help you.
Note: you need to use the Ketoconazole Shampoo after every 3 - 4 days ( you need to space it out). So that equates to 2 times a week. And in between those days that you aren't using Ketoconazole Shampoo, you need to use the Alpecin C1 Shampoo.
Only use Ketoconazole Shampoo twice a week for the first 4 weeks, after that use it only once a week to maintain results. That means you will use the Alpecin C1 Shampoo for the remaining 6 days.
As for the Alpecin Caffeine Liquid, that is a tonic that you apply twice a day (morning and evening) and you leave it on your hair.
Remember, fixing hairloss isn't an overnight thing. It will take many months. In fact you should only expect to see thickening and regrowth after the 6 month point. When you have realistic expectations, you won't be disappointed when you don't see results in 2 months.
However, by using the Ketoconazole Shampoo and Alpecin C1 Shampoo, you should see reduced hair fall and dandruff within a month.
Remember, this will require patience, discipline, consistency and effort to work.

Both of us South Asian and balding in similar pattern.
Firstly, you need to be calm and relax because stressing will only accelerate your hair loss.
Secondly, since you're both young males, and masturbation is natural, if any of you do masturbate, you need to completely stop masturbating. If you have Male Patterned Balding, that means you are sensitive to DHT (the hormone that causes hair loss). When you masturbate there's a spike in Testosterone, and this means more Testosterone available to convert to DHT. Thus resulting in hair loss or thinning.
You might think, just because it's a short spike it's okay. No, it's not. Even just a spike is enough to cause a ripple effect that will cause alot of hair loss/thinning.
There's tons of false information on the internet saying that masturbaring doesn't cause hairloss. It's bullshit. Scientists themselves don't know everything about Hair Loss so it's actually funny how people claim with such certainty what does and doesn't cause hair loss.
Basically, if you have male pattern baldness and are susceptible to DHT, masturbation will accelerate hairloss

Since you are losing hair in even your eyebrows, you probably don't have Androgenetic Alopecia. Probably some other form of Alopecia.
I would strongly recommend you see a Dermatologist as soon as possible to diagnose the true cause of your hair loss.
Once you know the cause, you will know how to approach it correctly.
Nope bro your condition is literally sh*t.
I have enough hair and no one can say I'm having hairfall.
You should go for finasterid ASAP.
Even your permanent area is thinning.
