New guy after hairloss advice (with pics)

[ste172]

Hi,

I'm a 22 year old male, turn 23 in 2 weeks.

Over the past 6-12 months I've noticed more and more that I lose hair on a regular basis. I'll be sat at my desk at work and notice my hair on the desk/keyboard.

Even more recently I've noticed my hair line seems to be receeding somewhat. It's probably receeded about an inch at both temples.

With fringe down:

With fringe back:

I was wondering what I could possibly do to prevent this receeding any further. For the time being at least. I'd rather not be bald by the time I'm 30.

Thanks

Also, I'd like to add that recently my scalp has become quite itchy and flakey! (nice)

first of all you have not receded a inch at the temples maybe 1 cm ,could be a mature hairline your hair looks great by the way

 

[ste172]

Thanks man!

I'm hoping it's just a mature hairline. Just seems to have happened what seems like overnight!

I'm not sure how true to life the theories of male pattern baldness coming from your maternal father, but he had receded quite a bit!

Hmm i've now noticed I'm definitely thinning around the crown area as well.

I've started using Nizoral shampoo a few times a week to stop any itching. Any ideas what products i should use to stop the thinning around the crown and maybe even regain some of the lost hair?

Any ego I had is now shot, all I can think about is my hairloss.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

hi there use anti dandruff shampoos to stop the itching and make a mix of sweet almond oil / lavender oil and rosmary oil and massage this once a week and try getting it to you scalp not hair ...either leave for at lease half hour or over nite.

I quite like rogaine foam tbh, though you may not need it by the sound of your last reply. finasteride might be enough

 

[ste172]

Am I right in saying that you NEED a prescription for finasteride? i.e propecia?

To be honest my hairloss is not by any means drastic, but I know it is thinning around the crown and has started to recede.

My dad is pretty bald so guessing it's the early stages of male pattern baldness!

you can get generics online pretty easily, read around this forum a bit! All the info you need can be found pretty easily!

cheers, I'll have a look about.

I'm trying to compare my vertex loss to older pictures but don't generally have any of the back of my head lol!

I think I've never really had a really full and thick crown area. And only since noticing my 'maturing' hairline, have I thought to check my crown.

Hoping it's only a mild cycle loss and I won't lose too much too quickly.

My brother is nearly 27 and I've noticed in certain light I can see a pretty defined circle of loss around his crown about 3" in diameter

found a picture from 2 years ago. I'm the one nearest the camera in the black t shirt.

Might just be the flash, but I'm thinking it's similar to now!!?
