Hairloss from Sideburns? male pattern baldness or Thyroid?

[Sir_LagaLot]

every single time i pull at my sideburns i end up with 1-2 hair. its almost EVERY single time. and it seems as if my sideburns arent even half as thick as before, feels as if its just hair thats growing downwards from above the sideburn area thats giving the 'effect' of a sideburn.

anyway..is this normal? ..i do have a slightly out of whack thyroid..with a tsh at 4.3 and some symptoms. i dont want my thyroid making male pattern baldness worse so i thought i'd ask if anybody else loses hair like this from the sideburns as well..

try a pull test. pull at either/both of your sideburns and see if you end up with any hair at all.

i thought the sides were in the safe zone from male pattern baldness. i also have lost hair from the nape of the neck somewhat..and everytime i'd pull i'd end up with a few hair but thats stopped now.

anybody else have this problem?

I pulled hard several times on my sideburns and came up with none.

gentle tug on my scalp and i get 3.

Me too, since i've started with finasteride my sideburns have gotten conseridably thinner, along with accelerated temple recession.
