Hi everyone,
I ve been reading this forum from a couple of days finally i thought of making up a post.
Im 24 and baldness Runs in my family. (extreme baldness,lol)my dad(doctor) is completely bald .but everyone from my moms family have thick healthy hair. My elder brother lost almost most of his hair from the front to the crown when he was at my age.and he has got Hair transplant done. i have to say im pretty luckier than him...and not as lucky as everyone who has hair. Ive been losing a lot of hair from the past few months-1year... my hair in the front region has been thinning out rapidly and excessively.. and my temples and hariline has been receeding like anything. I do have a high hair line..but i used to leave my hair long and cover it. im obsessed with my hair and loosing it all now is making me frustrated,angry and what not. its hitting on my confidence and ive dramatically decreased my social interactions.
im a student and adding to my genetic baldness i think the stress causes more hairfall. I do drink ocassionally and i roam a lot in the sunlight on a bike. though i was very much obssessed with hair, i never took much care. i started losing hair when i was around 20-21 itself.. till now i have been adviced to take finasteride and minoxidil and i never took them on a proper regimen as the hairfall was not that serious... maybe for some 2 years i had no touch with any sort of medication whatsoever.(i had taken finasteride and minoxidil for a few months before)
ill be digging up pics and posting them in a while...
Please do advice on what can be done and how drastic is my hairfall.
for 1.5 months im on the following regimen and im doing it properly:
every night minoxidil 10% foam(locally called togain foam)
900mg of cod live oil capsules
multivitamin hair supplement tablets( all stuff like biotin,zn,iron etc etc filled in it)
scared to try finasteride...though i have tried it once without any sides...
hairfall gets any worse, im starting finasteride for sure.
ive shown to a couple of dermatologists here, most of them suggest the big 3 itself. and some suggest me not to use finasteride for the sides.
ive noticed small hair growing on the front of my hairline...which are about half an inch or so... i do not know whether they are new hair or just old hair weak and my hairline receeding like s***.
and
Ive lost this forum and it has given me the greatest of hopes for me and my hair!
thanks in advance.
