Bear with me here because I'm a bit confused and unsure what to do now. You see I'm convinced my hair is receding at the temples and also thinning a bit in the front middle but virtually everyone I've asked has said they havn't noticed or that my hair looks fine. Maybe it's not that noticeable yet when my hair is longer or when it's combed a certain way but when it's very short, wet or pulled back it looks like a Norwood 2 or Norwood 2.5 to me. It certainly looks like I've got less hair then I used to anyway.
Other peoples reactions have got me thinking though, maybe it's my insecurities making me think the hair loss is worse then it is. Maybe I've just got a normal hairline for a guy in his late 30's and I'll still have a half decent head of hair in 20 years time. If I do have male pattern baldness it's certainly slow and not what you'd call aggressive.
So the question is what if you're taking things for hair loss and you don't really need them? Could you even be doing more damage to your hair then good? All these things have sides anyway so you don't want to take them unless you really have to. Also what advice would you give me? Perhaps see a specialist dermatologist for their opinion and advice? I don't trust my doctor BTW and I'm not interested in his advice any more.
