I have a very strange issue in regard to my own person hairless that that I was hoping someone could help me solve. Since about January, my hair has been gradually thinning at a rather fast pace. As it stands, I've lost about 60% of my hair density and its getting to the point where its becoming difficult to hide. When I lose hair, it seems to be very sudden, like one day theirs hair there and the next their isn't. One a couple occasions, within HOURS. A small spot on my head that was seemingly fine a few hours when I looked in the mirror, is now drastically thinned out. As of recently, that's what has started to happen across my hairline. My hairline itself is still more or less intact, it matured into what it is when I was about 23 (i'm 27) its just the diffused thinning is starting to take a tole on it. The issue is even presenting itself on the back and sides of my head. Albeit, not as bad as the top of the scalp, but you could still see it if start moving everything around. I voiced my concerns to my general practitioner and she didn't think it was androgenic, where as my dermatologist said it was so I'm kind of hard pressed on who to believe here. The dermatologist fresh out of med school or the GP who's been at it for 30 years. In addition to that, I've recently started noticing small bald patches and strips all over my beard, like bugs have eaten away it or something. I figured they had just been there so I didn't think much of it until I noticed my facial hair becoming more disconnected through the weeks. Even some hair on my pubic region has thinned out to almost nothing. My blood work and scalp biopsy came back clean and 3 weeks of finasteride haven't stopped the patterns of shedding. If anyone could help shed some light on whats going on here, I'd really appreciate it because I am so confused.

You are definitely diffusely thinning. How is your thyroid? If your thyroid is fine, I would say you have a NWA pattern of balding.

Yea they checked thyroid and it was fine evidently. I can't see any sort of miniturization, at least any obvious signs and like I said, finasteride seems to have no effect. At the same time though, if it was Telogen Effluvium I feel like their would have been at least some regrowth by now but theirs nada. It's getting worse by the days now and it's irritating the ever living piss outa me. What's NWA?

Norwood Pattern is an A meaning you are balding mostly at the front.

lol try mostly everywhere. I'm tempted to try finasteride one more time, but If it takes months to work, It would probably be pointless since I wouldn't have anything left at that point at the rate it's going.

That does not look like a Norwood A pattern. Very unusual loss. Get more thorough tests for vitamin deficiencies. Never seen male pattern baldness like that.

Dude, you have the exact experience as me, check out my thread https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...s-daily-recording-inside.107706/#post-1533248, I'm
wondering about the same thing - Am I really have MBP?

BTW, did you experiencing any depression or anxiety?

Interesting to see some similarities. If you're seeing high amounts of miniturization though, im inclined to say yours might be genetic and staying on the finasteride might be a wise choice, seeing as you responded to it so well. I do experience my fair share of depression as a matter of fact, but not as much as say anger. Admittedly, Im pretty short tempered and can fly into a rage pretty easily.
