Hi Everyone, been queitley reading this and other forums over the last few days - in need of some advice and help so hoping you can be kind to me and point me in the right direction.
my story, well im nearing my 28th birthday, and feel I am hitting the first part of male pattern baldness.
I have very thick hair, (haridresseres always comment how thick it is, and how when cutting it theres always lots on the floor , and grows back very quick) however over Id say the past 5 months I got promoted at work where my pressures increased and stress was growing more and more by the day. I bega developing an itchy and flaky scapl and was supplied with a shampoo by my gp called protar & tgel. used this for 2 - 3 weeks and seemed to help the flakyness.
i thought nothing of my hairloss at all (not gettign hairs on pilliows or in the showers) until a comment made by someone in a pub, with the ''your balding', which was followed by 2 more remarks the following weeks by seperate colleagues of 'your loosing it', and 'baldy'. my world then fell and has fallen apart. its the last thing i think o before i go asleep and the first thing before i wake up in the mornings. a subsequent short hair cut to me looked like by hair line had gone back a little particulary at the temples and confidence has been drained out of me. I dont feel like going out with friends and am so self concious i feel like crying at times. Its such a self dent to my conidence.
Worse still I have always had a very big forehead, (some people have large hooters, big ears, gooy teeth for me its a ugly looking forehead). i never got teased or bullie dover this and although i knew this was the case, it never bothered me and during my late teens - went for a spikey boy band type hairstyle that seem to suit me and gether some attention. shaving my head will not be an option i wish it was and envy guys who can shave and stil look cool
i have moved into a new house and have a stunning girlfriend who is younger than i am at 22, and things seem to be going well. i have developed self paranoia about the effect my hair loss may have on my future and our future together.
my dad is not fully bald and at 55 he has a bald patch and little hair at the ront admitedley although at 55 id settle for what he has. in summary i feel i am at the very early stages of male pattern baldness and although i have read its natuaral as you get older for the early hairline to disapear i am worried and have contunied to worry that the worrying i am doing will cause further hairloss....
i have read and looked at proscar as my first step and through various forums have ound out where i can get this fairly cheap through a dr ashcroft for a years supply. i have also looked through various surgeons such as dr feller who seem to do great jobs in helping people restore there hair. i dont know what is best for me however. i have good thick hair in areas and will look to get some photos posted asap so you guys can offer your comments. i havent told my girlfriend of this althoguh she knows i am worried about things at the moment - its very embarassing situation at the moment. i am hoping i can take some pictures of my head without her noticing me borrowing the digital camera !!!!
i am looking for some words of advice in these early stages and welcome any thoguhts and observations you all have. look forward to hearing from you
best wishes :$
