Treatment

[KEVING]

Hello,
Over the last few months my hair has went from long and thick to thin, long and itchy scalp plus i can see that im balding on top and receeding a wee bit at front. The thing is im only 22 and feel like this has happened all too fast.

Question ive got is, if i go back to the doctor again what will i get him to check incase it isnt male pattern baldness??

Secondly how the hell am i going to get rid of this itch it drives me mad, plus ive read that finasteride doesnt really work if you cant get rid of the itch.
I use nizoral every third day and tgel every other but to know effect. Scalp still feels itchy and burning.

Really getting hacked off.


Does this treatment sound best for me, someone suggested it

1) Get Nizoral shampo TODAY! no better yet get it yesterday and as soon as you got, massage it into your hair. Leave on for 10 mins.

2) Order spironolactone from regrowth.com. 5% for the top, 2% for the crown.

3) Order revivogen from this site or their official site.

4) Get on finasteride.

It's better than mine. I just take finasteride and that's it...

Hows the condition of your hair is it thin, weak, and falling out about 60 hairs a day. Ive been on nizoral and finasteride for a month but think i need something more to maintain.

Theres so much choice of products dont know which ones would be the best for me

I have always had thin hair as a child so in that respect nothing has changed. I still have a great head of hair but over the last couple of months I have had quite a shed which knocked me a bit. Some guys on the board had supported me and that was great. It picked me up again.

The temples were affected but not sure if the harline got smaller or not. Difficult to tell really. Maybe just a genral thinning all over. But the condition is OK.

I hope to see some regrowth in the next few weeks / months.

KEV,
In my opinion spironolactone and revivogen is only a good choice when all the more proven products (finasteride/minoxidil) has failed.
I assume your in the early stages of hairloss. Since this is the case just use finasteride. Keep it simple at first no need to throw the kitchen sink at the problem just yet. Give it at least 9-12 months before changing things too. There seems to be a lot of people that add or take away products after only a few months of treatment. This most likely has a negative effect before having any positive effect.
Now to address the itch. Daily use of medicated shampoos may be making things worse. Keep your nizoral shedule but replace the T/Gel with a good salon quality shampoo (one of my personal favorites is Biolage Hydrating Shampoo). If you don't use conditioner, you absolutely need to start. If you currently don't use one,that alone may get rid of your itch and burning. Some of my favorites are Nioxin Scalp Therapy, and Biolage Conditioning Balm. Cassin mentioned that he helped cured his inflamation and itch by adding a good conditioner. I think it was called Moisture Maniac by TIGI Bed Head.

As far as going back to the Dr....There really aren't too many things he can check for. If it's mainly thinning on the top portion of the head from the hairline to the vertex it's most likely due to male pattern baldness....Check family history....If there is anyone in your family on either side or either sex that has experienced hairloss chances are it's hereditary (check spelling on that one :wink: ). Even if there isn't anyone in your family it could be male pattern baldness.
It really sucks being young and realizing that your losing your hair. I was 24 when it hit me. I was the only Male in my family that had experienced hairloss. I'm now 34 and only decided to start treatment with "The Big 3" (finasteride, minoxidil, nizoral) just under a year ago. I've made some good progress. Click on my regimen and click the link to see my "before/After" pictures.

Good luck with your journey and I wish you the best.

KEV,

Agreed. Despite the fact that it is the backbone of my treatment, it is still the wisest and most scientifically logical thing to do, to use the products with solid hair counts backing them first. I still only suggest Revivogen or spironolactone after a minimum of 1 full year of Propecia + Nizoral, or Propecia+Rogaine+Nizoral. Ideally 2 full years. If no results are seen, or you're just plain still not happy after going the distance, then consider adding Revivogen, or adding spironolactone, or both depending upon your budget and whether you're willing to stick with 2 new topicals indefinitely.

The only exception to this rule is for those who experience unsafe or unbearable side effects on Propecia and have to stop taking it.
