Some weeks ago I made a thread in the Tell Your Story-section. Long story cut short - I started losing my hair at the age of 11, I'm 21 today and hairloss have progressed alot. Here's a pic of when I was 13:
Losing hair at 11, before puberty, seems pretty extreme. I was adviced in this thread to do a thyroid-test http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interac...ing-since-11-considering-finasteride-My-story
I just got my results back and according to my doctor they all came out normal:
T3: 5.2
TSH: 1.7
T4: 18
Two years before this I had regular blood tests which also came out normal.
Now I'm NOT trying to convince myself that my hairloss is not male pattern baldness, since my pattern is classic diffuse in NW6-pattern and some retrograde alopecia. But I'm just trying to eliminate all other possible scenarios that could be the cause, since I've been on the big 3 for 16 days now and my hairloss haven't decreased. I'm starting to wonder if it is male pattern baldness, then that it may be so aggressive that not even finasteride would work in it (considering the age I started losing), and that dutasteride may be the only hope?
Is there some tests I should be adviced to do?
