Evasive's story (pics)

[evasive]

Age 19
I didn't realize I had such bad hairloss in the crown region. Because you can't see it in the mirror. My brother came into my room one day and stood behind me, and told me that I'm balding.
I never noticed any shedding or anything, while I'm in the shower..so this came unexpected.
I don't know what to do..
I started wearing a hat.

yeah i had no idea mine had got so bad either :/ my friend pointed it out to me. waahhh.

so what are you going to do about it?

does your family have a history of baldness?

judging by your pics, i'd recommend jumping on the "big 3"; finasteride, minoxidil and nizoral.

dont worry, there's hope you're still young so you could be a great responder.

My dad has REALLY thin hair, it had no thickness whatsoever. You can see his scalp through his hair, especially on his crown region (like me).

Anyway I have just ordered Finasteride and Minoxidil off the net..and I'll be going to London Drugs first thing tomorrow to get some Nizoral shampoo.

you clearly have diffuse thinning at the crown, what is your hairline like? coz if it is just thinning at the crown i recommend just using finasteride and nizoral, at least for 6months to see if you can get away with it. Rogaine foam has worked v well for me and i needed to use it coz it was the only chance i had to recover my hairline. BUT it is something I have to use twice a day and could potentially be embarrasing if you go on holiday with friends and have to explain why your carrying a can of hair foam with you. finasteride works best on the crown and plenty of people have had great results using it alone or with nizoral, just something to consider...

Ok I have canceled my order of the Rogaine. My hairline is fine, it's just my crown region and in front of that, that there appears to be thinning.

Thanks for the help.
I'll try the finasteride and nizoral and see how it goes.

heh, you're pretty spontaneous

well, I'm not so sure finasteride will regrow that for you. It hasn't for me on my crown/vertex (in 7 months, anyway) and mine isn't quite as bad as yours. but if you're happy to play the waiting game then yeah it's worth trying because applying rogaine foam is something we can do without yeh

The pictures you have provided are not sufficient enough to make a judgement. From them, it does not appear that you are balding. Pictures of your hairline and hair when wet would allow a better judgement to be made.

in the last couple pics, you can definitely see some crown thinning.

THis does not look like balding to me. I could be wrong, however since the picture isn't the best quality to determine.

it is tough to call on that one, but it's six months old and alot could change in that time. Those other photos did show a fair amount of scalp however, so go to the doctors and get a second opinion.

 

[RaginDemon]

after looking at the pic you just posted, I would you most likely have male pattern baldness.

anyone know a good hair concealer to use? until the finasteride starts working?

Topik is pretty good, it is easy to use and it gets the job done.

GL on your treatment bro
