Hi,
I have a history of male baldness in the family (one side), and always had thin hair / high hairline. I am 23 and recently (last ~6 months) I've noticed that I've started to lose hairs at a fairly rapid rate (~5-6 every morning, in shower etc.). Is it reasonable to conclude that this is the onset of baldness, or would that be more rapid? It's hard to tell, but I think that my hair (around the temples) is thinner now.
And if it is probably the onset of baldness, should I begin treatment (e.g., Rogaine) immediately, or wait and see? I'm concerned about taking a radical step and potentially unnecessarily becoming dependent on the foam/liquid.
Thanks for your advice
