Male 26 (with Pics) - My Race Against male pattern baldness Just Started

Hi everyone.

The last 6 month has been really odd.
I have never really thought about that I one day I could lose my hair. First of all because I have the thickest hair (like an afro). I have the exact same type of hair as my dad and he's almost 70 with hair on his head - so why should i be worried. Second of all because no one from my dads side had male pattern baldness (different story from my moms side).

I first started noticing that my hairline was getting thinner and thinner. My follicles in the front was getting very weak. And then I took a picture (high key lighting) and I could see that my crown area was thinning too. Furthermore my scalp is very itchy and almost every time I scratch my scalp I see hair falling out. I have tried oil tree shampoo for a while now but it's not helping at all.

I have booked a meeting with a dermatologist but it's not before June.

I am 100 % sure that I have male pattern baldness and losing my hair so early is not an option.

So my questions are?

What would you do in my shoes?
What can I do about the itchy scalp?

Looking forward to get some advices from you guys!

I can't really tell, doesn't look like you have any hair loss. Keep an eye on it for now and if it gets any worse you'll have to get on minoxidil and finasteride. But that's only after you've confirmed it is indeed hairloss. If your hair doesn't change much but you still feel as though you have hair loss get a scalp biopsy done by a dermatologist so that they can confirm if there's any thinning.

I'm not sure about the itchy scalp. I think there's some members here who have itchy scalps though so maybe they could help.

I will never ask a young guy to show the proof of hairloss to me by asking for pics.

Instead..I would ask..


How many hairs do you lose nowadays?
Is the count normal,
is your hairloss increased in recent times?

When I was nw0 at 15..
more than 5 hairs used to come out every single time I tried to mildly pluck my hairs by three fingers.

This is most important nor formal confirmatory examination of hairloss done by young men.

That's right. We shouldn't be too strict in our judgements on hair loss.

If a guy has taken the step to actually sign up to this site, then hair loss of some kind is clearly bothering him.

This looks more stressed out hair than anything. Your dad still got his hair so Im very sure their is no hairloss to balding in your case. Whats your diet? Stress at work? Girlfriend cheated on you with confident norwood 5? (Joking I hope).

I am repeating this...

Never diagnose a rare disease..

This is advice once my senior sir gave us on my first day of medical life.

That sir is now vice dean of my medical college.

The more you try to experiment,the more you will wreck your easy incoming success.


Go with the obvious ,if you want to be successful in life.This way of thinking is applicable in every part of life.

Don't complicate it.



To find another possible diagnosis is subject to further investigations if required.
(Second attempt.)

You are overthinking in some sort of autistic level. A forum about "medical" related stuff should only give you feedback/stuff to consider think about it. If you actualy trust "hairlossbruh69" and stop taking (or start to) lets say finasterid without talking to at least a doctor, you deserve to get bald. To me it clearly looks stressed. To others he is norwood 12 tomorrow. And a lot thinking he has completly good hair.

During stressfull times (girlfriend kicked me out, no job) my hair went incredibly bad. Stress is a big factor but does not cause hairloss into balding.
