What Kind Of Hair Loss Do You Think I Have?

[ryan Kelley]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with an idea of what type of hair loss I have and what to I can do treatment wise. I know you guys aren’t doctors but anything helps. I put some pics on here to help out. Some pictures look better than other some in direct sunlight and some not. My hair get very greasy easily and fresh out of a shower my hair loss isn’t *** noticeable. But if I wake up from a shower the night before my hair is flat and my bald spot becomes more noticeable. I’m hoping I’m a good candidate for finasteride and possibly minoxidil??? I hope I don’t have DUPA

hard to say. the hair right above your ears and the neck area in the back seem quite thin, which could point to dupa. do you feel like you're losing hair there? cause if not it's probably just standard male pattern baldness

 

[ryan Kelley]

I don’t feel like I’m losing hair there,but i can’t tell for sure. My hair has always been thin in those spots. I defiantly do not shed hair in those areas as I do run my fingers through it often and no hair ever comes out. My hair feels thickest on the front of my head and donor area but I can tell I’m losing it on my crown and I’m shedding like crazy in the shower. I just want the best treatment plan for this. Probably should just see a dermatologist. But I’m scared there gonna tell me I’m screwed.

 

[ryan Kelley]

So I’m screwed? Is it even worth taking fo asteroids and minoxidil?

 

[ryan Kelley]

Thanks man time to take the plunge and see if it works. Going to the doctors to get thyroid checked I’ve had problems before

 

[dupapls]

what did your blood tests show? did you get any answers from the derm?

Hello, just to recap, I am a man and have DUPA hair loss (or female pattern hair loss), diffuse hair loss and thinning (back, sides and top) which started 3 years ago after an episode in my life where my alimentation was very bad and had nutrient deficiency for sure. After fixing my alimentation properly my hair are still shedding and thinning all over.

Since 8 month i only take 1mg finasteride / day (no reduction on my hair loss), cb0301 30mg topicaly with no reduction on my hair loss, Biotin (10mg/day), spearmint tea (4 cup/day to reduce free testosterone), Flaxseed (30 g/day to reduce testosterone)

Here is a complete blood test that I have done 3 weeks ago. It would be great if some of you may highlight some issue in it and maybe propose corrective action as he might help others with similar hair loss.

From my perspective, I think I have low zinc, low vitamin d, high prolactin level, high cortisol level and maybe iron deficiency as we can have it according to study even with normal level of blood iron.
