Hey everyone , I am new here and concern about my thinning hair. It actually came out of nowhere. I am 31 years old and I had really bad dandruff and itchiness on the scalp. I went to a dermatologist and was told i had sebboric dermatitis. I was prescribed with Nizoral 2 percent keto. The itchiness and dandruff went away, but i notice my hair seemed to look different and recending unevenly. I've been under alot of stress for more than a year and barely getting any sleep because of sleep apnea. I just want to know if it's male pattern or just something else. I tried asking my dermatologist, but all she said that it looks like its thinning and to use Minoxidil.
Is My Thinning Hair Male Pattern Or Something Else?
Oh man i never knew about diffuse thinning. Just Googled it and it really looks like what i have. Btw is diffuse thinning bad to have? Also, thank you for your feedback on my situation.
Hello man. No worries. Diffuse thinning is normal is just male pattern baldness, but instead of the classical receding hairline you're thinning. Just like me
. Although I do feel like diffuse thinners have it easier to combat Male Pattern Baldness, since you still have hair, unlike a receding hairline where it is really hard to regrow hair. As mentioned bro, decide wether your hair matters to you and if it DOES hop on ATLEAST an anti-androgen such as Finasteride/Dutasteride, a growth stimulant (recommended but not needed) such as Minoxidil (Kirkland is just 60$/year) and Nizoral (not mandatory) but works as a way to prevent inflammation to the scalp, and does work very good for most people! I hugely recommend all three!If it doesn't, you can just let nature take its course.
Hope this helps, best of luck.
Edit: Just realized that you're alread on Nizoral, that's a good start.

male pattern baldness. Your best bet for preventative treatments right now are 1mg of finasteride daily and 5% minoxidil 2x a day using a 1.5mm dermaroller once a week.

Thanks man, im gonna try finasteride and nizoral for now. Thanks alot, it gives me a bit of hope lol.
Thanks man, i will try finasteride for a while and if i don't see results ill use the minoxidil. Was trying to avoided using it but if i have not other choice i might as well. Also, ill get the dermaroller.
