Three right now. Long hair hides a lot, there used to be layers and layers of hair like above. Back thinning similar to top. Hair looks thinner and lighter at the root.
Hello. At 39 I had zero hairloss. Long, thick, wavy black hair that I could barely contain to style.
In August I noticed some shedding and thinning at the vertex and immediately saw a dermatologist. Her first diagnosis was Telogen Effluvium. I wasn't confident in a single diagnosis and saw three additional dermatologists along with a biopsy. All but one said it was a diffuse Telogen Effluvium and that I should be patient it would all return within a year. They were hair specialists in Chicago at the most reputable hospital in the city.
I waited. The loss worsened as I waited for the promise of a return. I saw her again in December and was assured it was going improve. On my return four month visit the Doctor seems to be waver and is now directing me to Rogaine and Propecia.
I have lost so much hair. I started Rogaine May 1 and the shedding is crazy.
I am so angry that I could have saved my hair if I had started treatment in August when it was full and thick. I feel like it was malpractice.
Can anyone help me understand timing and the potential for regrowth under these conditions? I am healthy, marathoner in a strict pales diet.
The loss has been very very diffuse. Only now am I starting to see thinning at the temple.
Can I recover?
Appreciate any real insight. It is so hard to get honest answers.
I was in clobestsol for awhile a new ‘hair’ dermatologist said I should get on betamethaszone. I have been using a lot of topcial Dutasteride and low dose Propecia and it is only getting worse. I have HGH and my IGF1 was in the tank.
I think this is male pattern baldness and I’ve wasted all of my time and hair thinking it was something else that could recover. I no longer have that hope. I can’t stand the itch
Balding at a young age is definitely worse because it robs you of your youth and it eliminates you from competing with guys of your own peers who have a full head of hair. You are always the one that will get mocked or treated differently especially when you are brave enough to date and ask someone out. Even in social settings you will be viewed as different and will be stereotyped and misjudged simply by how much hair you have. Hollywood has embedded a negative image of the bald guy already for decades as the villain or muscle head.ok answer the question. do you really think BDD is anywhere near as bad as real hair loss?
>10 years of posting on a hair loss forum because of BDD hallucination.
>you have more issues than i do
and i dont hate on people there because theres none of these BDD crazies lol.
also as usual strawmanning i see. these BDD incels almost never have any actual hair loss. and when they do its unbelievably minir yet they act like its the end of the world. when you have people with actual hair loss how do you expect us not to get mad at that? lol
im convinced you spend so much time here because you know your problems are bullshit so you've spent a decade justifying and rationalizing them lol
No, he was talking about me. @Exodus2011 has been at war with me for over a decade because my situation mimics the OP's. However, I don't have any past posts that even resembles what you are reading in this thread. I am the most realiable source for the OP as I went thru all this myself. I never shed hairs like the OP but I did lose density slowly like he is now. We both have thyroid issues or at least he did. I still do. And still I can't get thru to him so if you can good luck. He doesn't believe me when I said he will not be bald in the next decade or two.If we're talking about the OP, yes there is absolutely the beginnings of diffuse loss, anyone who doesn't see that is probably envious of the fact that he isn't as far along as some others, and he has a right to be concerned about it, just because it is not horrendously bad now does not mean it could not get worse if he does not treat it.
It's not social life destroying at this point, but it is there.
Nobody should be gaslighting the guy and telling him to stop worrying just because other people here have far worse cases.
He's right to be concerned, but he needs productive insight and answers, not people giving him sh*t.
People shouldn't be crab-bucket shitbags with him just because his level of diffuse loss would be a satisfying level of regrowth for others.
I have the same f*****g hairLoss. 400 hairs a day. Diffuse. I'm thinking it's either autoimmune or thyroidNo, he was talking about me. @Exodus2011 has been at war with me for over a decade because my situation mimics the OP's.

Also forgot that I use 6ml .50 mg 5% RU 2x daily. My estrogen was high last test I’m worried about topical Estrogen you didn’t get any sides?Thanks @DogoDiLaurentiis these are all good suggestions. I did start the beta but only a week so I can stop. There is regrowth at the hairline but it can no longer keep up with the shedding and they are much much thinner.
when a new hair comes in, out of the scalp will it start thick and get thinner or can it start thin and grow thicker? My biggest concern is that up close it looks like hairs are thinning at the point of the root.
curious about the demodex. Can they test for that? I do recall they found some ‘yeast’ in the biopsy years ago.
I am on a strong antibiotic. I had been on minocycline for 2 years before the shedding started. I have no acne anywhere but in my beard, goatee area that gets swollen and inflamed occasionally. Right now they gave me 500mg Keflex.
I can’t tell is the Propecia or Dutasteride are working because I get sides and then try to fight my way back with sh*t like HCG. I was always shedding but was at least regrowing but this is different. October I was still solid, freaking out about shed but still felt like there was hope. The hairs I’m losing now are almost all the same length 4-5 inches, whispy no bulbs.
the safe zone has also thinned. Worst area is a straight line down the center of my head. For the first two years the thinning was mainly the vertex.
I get extensive blood tests every month but no one knows what the f*** to do with them. I’m getting more and more desperate trying alternative doctors. My urologist says one thing, the hairs doctors don’t know a damn thing. Hell 2 years ago before I knew better a PCP put me on Androgel and told me it would help my hair. My testosterone is very high right now but it’s always been close to 900 and when the hairloss started it was at like 200. Under 900 I feel awful.
I’m using:
Topical Dutasteride.5 PGE 6ml 2x week
.25 Propecia (brand) ED
Oral Minoxidil 5mg ED
*HCG 40 3x week stopped this in October and my shedding was insane and has not recovered, started again early February. I know this can f*** me but I can’t use the AA’s wo, Propecia destroyed my sperm count, the HCG helped to recover it. I was on topical Finasteride and HCG for a year and still lost but also regrew a lot.
Keflex 500 mg ED
Biotin, Zinc, and Vitamin D
I have pharma HGH, I tried this August-October and hair and beard got darker. I stopped and shed a ton. I’m afraid I can’t keep up with the insane $ for this. The doctor acted like it was a miracle for hair. It helped but didn’t stop the shedding.
I had iron IV December 2019 and my hair got thick. My ferrying was 30 and went to 380, now it’s leveled off at 90 and they say it’s too high for more infusions. Hands down this is the only time I thought things could get better but no doctors will prescribe.
I eat gluten free, clean AF
Lift ED
Appreciate all of the help. It’s just a big change and the itch plus hair everywhere it’s hard to ignore. I’m sure we are all dealing with the added bullshit of having to look at ourselves on Zoom all day. It’s f*****g with my head.

OP, what would be your advice to somebody who is mainly ectomorph, but some mesomorph, who has trouble gaining weight? I would really like to build some muscle and gain some weight. I am a joke. I am 6 foot and 128 pounds but have a descent frame. Should I just cram food or try to eat small constant meal through out the day?
I try to gain weight without lifting and can't, so I know if I started lifting I would need to eat even more to gain. So I feel sort of like it would not even be possible. I (guess) am tired of being a 6 foot 128 pound dude at 27 years old. Like I said, descent athletic looking frame so I don't look weirdly skinny, which at least helps.
You seem to be in really great shape, and I assume you know a lot about building muscle.
Also, I don't think it did, but just in case anything I said to you (feel free to go back and read them) came across as being mean in anyway, I did not mean for it to. As I said earlier, I know how much depression and your own mind can torment. My depression pre-dates ever thinking about hair by a number years, then the hair issue, and BDD only made it worse. I have seriously thought about ending it many times, even this week I have gave it thought. One reason I am trying to force (and I do mean force) myself to gain some muscle.Just hang in there, man.
Try being 6'2 130lbs. It's hellI am a joke. I am 6 foot and 128 pounds but have a descent frame.
