Posted new pictures on page 4

-------------------------------------------
I am a 20 years old, soon 21. People started noticing my hairloss at 18. At first I thought that this couldnt be true.
Loosing hair at 18!!?? wtf . But then 1 year later I saw myself in the mirror, and I could clearly see my scalp on the top of my head. But I convinced myslef that it was impossible to loose this early. So here I am, 20 years old and balding as hell.

I am mainly thinning on the crown and the front part of my head. My hairline is still good, but I have noticing it receeding the last 6-7 months. I dont mind getting bald, but this is just waaaay to early. I wouldnt care if I was 30 or something. But at this rate I will be totally bald before I reach 25.

I started searching the internet for answers and ended up here. I started reading and have come to a conclusion that finasteride is the only thing that really helps. I went to a doctor and asked him if he could write me a prescription. The doctor had actually never heard about this drug, but he looked it up and said that I clearly knew alot about this, and he wouldnt have any problem writing me a prescription. But when I got to the pharmacy, they said that I had to see some kind of skin doctor(dermatologist I think). But since I was moving to a new town because of school, I thought f*** that. I found a internet pharmacy and ordered proscar.

Now Im in my first month on 1.25 mg finasterid(1/4 proscar) havent seen any changes. Maybe a little shed but I dont know. I guess its just my imagination. Im gonna try proscar for 6 months before I try minoxidil. I just hope this sh*t works because if it doesn't I will just shave my whole head and wait for hair cloning of something.

I still have a full head of hair, and its just my closest and a few others that have commented my hairloss.

I will try to post pictures and keep you updated on my progress(hopefully)

btw Im from Norway so excuse my shitty english :)

Re: growffs's story

hey :)

you've done the right thing getting on the proscar,maybe add nizoral 2% shampoo and use that 2-3 times a week too.


you should give the proscar a year at least and then determine if its working.......once you decide to use minoxidil,use rogaine foam as its much better than the liquid


good luck!

oh and your english is far better than my Bokmål or Nynorsk :)

I am 34, and I DO CARE going bald this young, but I wouldn´t care if I was 44 or something :)

Re: growffs's Story - (Norwegien, started balding at age 18)




This was taken with a really good camera and flash.
It isn't this bad in real life.

So what do you guys think. Is there any hope ?

Nizoral er det samme som Fungoral på norsk, du får kjøpt den på apoteket, og trenger ikke noe lege erklæring.

Come on, man... you know your English is very good so I think you're just fishing for compliments. Anyway, good luck to you, I'm in the same boat with you really since I'm almost 25 and pretty damn bald on top (similar to you). I'm from Finland btw, so vällkommen or something.

And damn, reading your norwegian comments: I thought swedish was an ugly language but I guess I was wrong :smack: .

Always better than norwegian, which is like a tad more cultivated version of the dutch. And sorry if I insulted you with that fishing for compliments stuff but your english is very good and I think you knew it.
