I can’t help to worry about my hair. I know there are so many people who have much worse health conditions and I sometimes feel bad but I just think to myself my hair means so much to me. At work the majority of men are balding so it’s pretty much the norm. But then you see that one man who...

Ever since my shedding started around 4 months ago I've been noticing hair on my pillows in the morning. I now check them each time I wake up. It varies though, during the week when i Wake up at 7am for work there'll sometimes be no hair or just a few. On weekends though after a lie in the hair...

Same here. But I've read finasteride works best on crown..

Was just going to start a thread on this. Earlier today saw a dude at a shop with a decent hairline prob NW2 but his crown had serious thinning and loss with hardly any hair.

Is there actually a link?

What are you on propecia for? Your hair is absolutely fine. Stop worrying and live life.

Looks like a maturing hairline. As others have said, quit worrying and live your life.

Anyone from the UK here? What is the best way to get finasteride? Also, stupid question but how do you cut your tablets to take 0.25mg?

The start of the year was a stressful time for me as I had family issues then came down with a nasty chest infection. The stress has also flared up my seb derm. On top of that, I'm also suffering with alopecia areata on the back of my head. I believe this also developed as a result of the...

I'm 25. Currently weighing up whether I should get on finasteride or not. Just worried about the side effects. Here's some images of my crown close up. There are some miniaturised hairs as you can see.

I'm not particularly keen on using minoxidil though mainly because I already have bad outbreaks of dandruff and seb derm and fear that minoxidil will just make it worse. Aware of the side effects of finasteride of course, would it be okay to start off on 0.25mg a day?

Seems totally fine to me

So I went to a private dermatologist who also specialises in hair. He took some magnified images of my crown and pointed out some thinner and miniaturised hairs. After telling him that I've been experiencing some heavy shedding mainly from my crown these past few weeks, he was pretty certain...

Inflammation and redness without dandruff etc could be a sign of an inflammatory condition like lichen planus. Go to a dermatologist. Hair loss from lichen planus and related conditions is usually permanent.

I genuinely believe heavy stress or trauma can trigger male pattern baldness to come on earlier if you are genetically predisposed to it. My dad had a good head of hair until he was knifed in the head. The resulting operations and stress made him lose his hair and he hasn't grown it back - he's totally bald...
