male pattern baldness without minituarization?

[rapidfrontal]

Many of you have given me great advice and I'm very appreciative. In the 4 months that this has all been going on, I have yet to come accross anybody whose temples receed daily or about 1/4" per month like mine does. In my right temple I clearly am male pattern baldness affected, but the hair doesn't seem to minituarize, it just falls out and is gone and the result is that I have rapid recession of male pattern baldness there.

How is this possible? I thought male pattern baldness ALWAYS included the minituarization process, am I wrong?

Thanks in advance for putting up with my constant pleas for help.

If you think you have male pattern baldness without minituarization, you might have something else other than male pattern baldness.

Telogen Effluvium or other causes of hairloss just cause the hair to fall out immediately wihtout minituarization. So perhaps you don't have male pattern baldness.

Well, I have been diagnosed by a Derm with Telogen Effluvium, but the fact that my hair is falling out in this male pattern baldness-like way is making me and him reconsider. It is very possible that this is linked to Telogen Effluvium, but if that is the case, it is affecting me in a way that nobody has ever seen before. My Derm says he's diagnosed about 1000 people in his career (he's been practicing for at least 30 years) and never been wrong, but what he is seeing with me is making him reconsider. I think he's totally baffled.

I may have to commit my body to medical science. It is sort like a biologist finding a species that has never been known to exsist before.

With recession and temporal loss the minuatrization can be so dramatic it can literally be 1 cycle from terminal to what looks like slick bald.

You would probably find that looking at your recently receded hairline under one of those microscope things would actually show ther is hair there but very very vellus and notr visible to the naked eye.

E-mail Dr Lee about your situation and I'm certain he will say a similar thing.

Thanks for the information, even if it is not what I want to hear. Oh, but then again what I want to hear is: your hair is fine, it'll come back in a month and you'll have hair for the rest of your life like you had when you were 20.

I just posted some info on the other guy's thread call 'sudden minaturisation'

Have a look.

Can you post some pics rapid? I'd love to give my opinion.

Things always look worse than what you think they are.

Its hard to say, during my initial stages of male pattern baldness, i had the same thing as u- slw temple recede but no miniturisation. Once the temple recede has stopped, it may be possible that miniturisation may start later.Only time can tell

Are you saying you actually expect my temple recession to stop? I was sort of wondering at what point temples are no longer temples. I mean if my temples receed to the back of my head at some point, I would think, it would be considered vertex and/or crown thinning.

I am working on the pics, I'll let you all know when I get them up.
