does male pattern baldness affect sides of the head as weLL!? :freaked2:

my case : dad has hair, moms hair thin but not losing, maternal and paternal grandads had hair. one unc from moms side bald. no other siblings suffering from hairloss.

me : temple recession and frontal thinning. right forehead has receded more than the left. my "M" shape forehead is REALLY weird! from the left the |\ is less but on the right the slant is longer. losing 20 - 40 hair a day most of which is 'short hair', not fully grown. :( i also sometimes get this 'burning sensation' on my scalp, nothing to see, no bumps or rashes or anything but when i touch that spot it just burns slightly. not all the time though, can anyone here relate to this? other than this, no flaking, itching only when i havent washed hair in 2 or more days and goes away after the wash.

but NOW! i'm losing hair from my sideburns as well?! i pull at the hair on my sideburns and end up with 1 or 2 EVERYTIME from both sides. i thought male pattern baldness didnt affect sides? but my sideburns will thin out if i keep doing this.

and another question..does the rest of the body hair have anything to do with it, i'm 21 and still dont have chest hair as such, but i have ALOT of hair on my legs. dont even have proper face growth, its all patchy kinda.

anybody else losing hair from sideburns? :!:

help?

i'm pretty sure it's normal to lose some hair from the sides including sideburns. if you look at a guy with lots of male pattern baldness who has the horseshoe pattern, chances are good that his side hairs used to thicker than they are now. i think there are some hairs on the sides and back that will never be lost. these are the ones they use for transplant. but all in all i think your sides including your sideburns can thin. just my opinion.

also some people on this forum have said that sometimes propecia can cause a shed that includes hair shedding from the sides. are you on propecia?
