Okay thanks for the response. I've heard the same thing about creatine.

I've read this in some threads on other forums? Is this actually true? I put tretoinin on my face for acne every now and then. I've tried looking at studies and have only found conflicting ones. Does anyone here take tretoinin?

Retinol and Tretoinin cause hair loss (or so I've heard).

Have you lost hair since you started thyroid meds? Also, finasteride in a maintenance drug. Very little chance it gives noticeable regrowth, but it will maintain what you have (if you are a good responder to it). Make sure you read about the sides though.

Oral Retin-A has been known to cause hair loss. Have you tried applying it topically?

I know you're joking and all, but as a NW1/NW2 myself, it's always on the back of my mind aswell. Kudos to OP for trying to catch it as early as he can.

Read on finasteride and see if its something you're willing to take. Note though, people do experience sides with it but for the majority they are not long term.

How long have you been battling hair loss?

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I know you're joking, but I have a cousin who's dad went bald early 20s and he still has his hair at 35.

I was just told by someone that accutane can cause male pattern baldness. Is this true? I dont really take accutane, I take tropical tretinoin to control my acne and was wondering if this can cause long term hair loss.

Thanks for the response. That's what I've been noticing too. I have a cousin who has at 30 has perfect hair and his brother at 25 is a NW7. I've been told I was going to bald early (moms family has male pattern baldness) but when I posted on this site, I was told I have no hair loss. :confused:

Bump.
