Questions for a newbie

[Fabio_08]

Forgive me if these questions have been asked before, however i'v searched the forums and havn't seen them answered so would love if i could get some of your help!

Firstly i posted pics a little while ago and the results were inconclusive. Basicaly i have no idea wether im balding. Everyone, including doctors seem to think its in my head and i have body dysmorphic order but i just can't seem to forget it. My sides of my hair seemed to have thinned, my crown abit, a patch at the front, and basicaly all over. I'v started on Propecia because even if im not balding it wont harm me as such.

Anywayz here are all my questions for all you experts out there to answer

1. If you are balding. Will you wake up with hair on your pillows and if so, how many?

2. When you loose hair will it always have a white bulb on it? What if the hair that is coming out seems just like snapped hair but alot of it?

3. When you rub your hair really hard over a white surface, how many hairs should fall out. I get like 8 hairs every 20 seconds?

4. When you shower and rub your hands through your hair, how many should you find on your hand each time?

5. What do miniturized hairs look like? How do i no if the hairs coming off my head are miniturized?

6. Is it common to have a red irrateted scalp when you are balding?

7. Is hair generaly thinner in the crown region?

8. Is it dangerous for me to take propecia if im not balding?

9. Do you think long term it can cause cancer?

10. Where in Sydney can i get my hair mapped for miniturization?

11. If i have above normal levels of DHT, does that mean im CERTAIN to go bald? Is it possible to have high levels and never go bald, or have low levels and go completely bald?

Anywayz i no they sounds stupid but please help anwyayz

Thanks in advanced!

Questions 1 - 4
I tell this to everyone : Stop obsessing about hairs on your pillow/sink or wherever.
Everyone sheds hair, women, Brad Pitt dogs .... You can shed hairs all over the place and not be balding in fact the more hair you have the more your likely to shed.
5. Miniturised hairs are visibly thinner than normal, almost transparent and they dont grow long.
6. No not really.
7. It very often can be but also the fact that the crown is where the head curves the most can also give your hair the appearance of being thinner than the surrounding hair when it is not.
8. No more dangerous than if you are balding.
9. No.
10. Dont know.
11. No your levels are not important what makes the difference is how or if your follicles are sensitive to or resistant against the effects of DHT.
