since I'm studying abroad I will go to another dermatologist here maybe could always use a 2nd professional opinionYour derm is an idiot, you clearly have male pattern baldness. So far I don't see an improvement but you will also need finasteride as minoxidil is pointless without it.
oh I uploaded wrong images, I didn't upload pictures I took today,I fixed it now.Your derm is an idiot, you clearly have male pattern baldness. So far I don't see an improvement but you will also need finasteride as minoxidil is pointless without it.
anyone?
Get on finasteride immediately, you are thinning all over the top and you still have enough hair to recover.Last month I posted some pictures of my hair, and most told me im balding but I need updated opinions.
So I went to 2 doctors, the dermatologist told me what happened to me was due to stress, and my receding hairline was natural and not excessive, he told me to take minoxidil , nanogen shampoo and serum.And told em to come back in december when my semester is over because i study abroad.
I took a blood test and took it to a doctor that works in this field, cant remember the name. He told my my thyriod hormones were high and I had vitamin D deficiency. He gave me Perfectil, Vitman D tables, Normal vitamins, omega 3.
I will post pictures when it first noticed it in may, pictures from august and pictures taken today
First 2 pictures are May, 2nd 2 picture are august and last 4 images are today.
Does anyone see an improvement?
Ps. I have been taking minoxidil for 40 days now,and few weeks back i noticed that my hairy leg is much less hairy?
But I have improved a lot just using vitamins, I read minoxidil doesn't show progress until 3-4 months passes, i've been taking it for 1 month only? 2 doctors told me it's from severe stress ( which is true because I had a very difficult few months ) , they pulled my hair and not a single hair came out, doesn't that mean something? I'm sorry im not doubting anyone I'm just realllly confused, I'll book an appointment with my GP anyway to go to a third doctor.Get on finasteride immediately, you are thinning all over the top and you still have enough hair to recover.

this is not what i expected
My dad went bald in his late 30s, 1 uncle has hair, other one went bald starting at 50s but still has hair. My brother is 25 and has hair, when he was in uni about 3-4 years ago, he went through same issue and hair grew back without any meds, safe to say he is studying medicine so he is under a ton of stress, my 29 year old cousin also went through this as well but i remember he was more severe he was in uni as well and he took minoxidil for few month and back to normal, that was like 7-9 years ago, still has his hairI promise you that it is male pattern baldness. The situation is more serious than you think man its not just regular receding you have diffuse thinning. Remember I showed u pics of my hair and how it was similiar to yours? If you care about having a chance at saving your hair you have to get on some kind of anti-androgen. Even with a dht blocker there is still a very good chance of going bald since you are diffuse. Trust me man receding is no issue when ur hair is still thick it will take a very long time to go bald but with diffuse thinning u can go from nw1 to nw6 in just a couple of years.
What is your family history of hairloss?

My dermatologist told me vitamins and really important especially for my thyroid hormones TSH as he found it was was very high 4.5 ( that's what he said), he told as you are studying abroad come to me next december to see if there is any progress, he gave me nanogen shampoo and serum and minoxidil for hair + a ton of vitamins because during exams i got a loooot of vitamin deficiencies. Ill book a derm this week here in the UK as well for better advice.Do you plan on just waiting it out? To see if it grows back by itself or something? I say if it doesnt grow back within a year its probably a good idea to consider meds.
