My GP was very unhelpful, didn’t even look at my scalp. Said anyone can diagnose male pattern baldness, and that the NHS can’t help. He then printed off a helpful factsheet. Tbf, I think he’s right in a way though

Any more opinions? Could I not use minoxidil to restore some of the temples, where there are still fine hairs, and then eventually just use finasteride? Would these new hairs not be maintained with that?

Pics!

I think @michel sapin is most right, but there does seem to be lots of minutarisation - although the hairs are all very black? @nick533142 how do you know my hair density is down? It doesn't seem like that to me at all. However, I thought about taking a picture of my crown, and this has worried...

Here you go :)

@doyle11 I’m 17 in one and a bit months. Would you reccomend rogaine for until then, and then swap to finasteride? Or just wait for until i’m 18, as I don’t really want to do both minodoxil and finasteride

Hi all, Having realised I’m balding (have a look at my other thread to see the hairline pics)at 17, I’m trying to work out a plan to keep my hair. See what you think, and please tell me if it’s OK or what you would do differently. I can’t get finasteride until I’m 18 in 3 months, so what I...

Thanks for your opinions! Do you think I should wait till March (when I’m 18) to start finasteride, and use Rogaine in the mean time? Is Rogaine really needed, and can I stop it once I start finasteride?

Any more opinions on my hair?

You don’t make it sound great AnxiousAndy! I don’t mind taking finasteride, but really what I want to know is whether I’m going to recede further, or thin out entirely in the future. If I am I’ll do everything to keep it as it, but I’d rather not take an expensive medicine (or tablets of any...

These pictures date from March 2016 to August 2017. I don’t know if this helps, but I have always had dense hair, but it’s rather thin up top (ie, there’s lots of it but it doesnt curl like the sides, and doesn’t easily stand up).

I’ve always had a big forehead, but the picture that shows my temple recession really shocked me. I have some pictures of me from a few years ago I can upload, but they’re not very clear. The worst quality picture was in October 2012, the other two October 2013

Hi guys, After lurking for a few months I’ve decided to join the forum! Hopefully you’ll be able to help me. I’ve always had a high forehead, but as you can see, my hairline is receded, with a prominent ‘U’ shape. The hairline itself goes in further in certain places. Now, I’m sure it looks...
