How can you be so sure?. You can't just diagnose M.P.B for every hair loss case.
Tiger's Bald Spot said:Hey Supe,
Have the sides of your head thinned as well? Meaning, the hair above your ears, which is normally thick even on completely bald men. It's hard to tell, but it appeared that way from one of the pictures.
If the sides of your hair have thinned, then something other, or in addition to, male pattern baldness may be going on. Given your age, you should go to another dermatologist to see whether they can assess what's going on.
If it happens that you're just in the early stages of ordinary male pattern baldness, then, if you absolutely want to treat your condition, finasteride (Propecia) is your best bet. Your dermatologist can prescribe that for you. Minoxidil may help, but it won't fix it on its own, and you must continue using it to continue experiencing results.
Stay away from that hair club. They are trying to rip you off. Your yearly costs on finasteride should be only a few hundred dollars.

Do you have the option of seeing a dermatologist?
FSHGLD said:Dude that hairclub sound like they're SERIOUSLY trying to scam you. Out of what they've offered you, minoxidil is by far the most important component and you can get a generic brand of it really cheaply. It sounds like they're trying to charge you a 2000% commission for easily available ingredients. Also, there's absolutely no way you'll be totally bald in six months. I'd say the chances of you being totally bald before 25 even if you do nothing are fairly slim.
Spend a bit of time researching the treatments available and take action when you feel ready (though obviously the longer you wait, the less hair you're likely to keep).
