Thanks for the answers guys. I'm just going to try to be as optimistic as possible (I feel like convincing yourself you'll go completely bald can almost be a self-fulfilling prophecy) and keep an eye on it.

Does early hair loss necessarily predict a worse end-state? For example, if a 20 year old guy experiences mild diffuse thinning, is he pretty much doomed to lose it all since the hair loss is starting so early? Is it unprecedented for someone with this type of early hair loss to only lose a...

Bump. Any thoughts?

Does anyone know if Nizoral 1% would cause any shedding? I've heard Rogaine and other topical treatments do and I've been shampooing with Nizoral for about 5 weeks now and feel like I might be a little thinner than I was when I started. Started off using it every 3 days and in the past week and...

Alright thanks for the info. What did you mean by this though? Typo? "Get a Propecia (not prescription) prescription" Also, I've been using Nizoral 1% shampoo (I know 2% is what most people use but I didn't feel like getting a prescription and I figured it couldn't hurt) for about a month or...

Do you guys recommend getting finasteride through a Propecia prescription or are there reliable ways to get it online? Just curious. I don't think I'll ever end up taking it. If my hair gets worse I'll probably just suck it up and let nature take its course.

My dad's hair has thinned around the crown and his hairline has receded a good amount (I'll post a picture of his hair). Granted he's 54; I'd be fine with the amount of hair he has at his age. My mom's brother is also in his mid 50s and has a pretty full head of hair save for a mature...

Hey Guys, here are some pictures from today with better lighting (Also my hair is greasy and unwashed). Don't know if it looks better or worse.

Okay, thanks FinFighter. @LooseItAll I doubt I'll be completely bald in 3 years. I still have a lot of hair left. Plus no male on either side of my family in the last two generations has gone completely bald so there is a chance that I'll probably lose a significant amount but maybe not all...

Thanks for the reply... I plan on seeing a dermatologist in May. What do you think looks worse - the crown or hairline? Or are they equally indicative of male pattern baldness?

Also, I know what you mean about looking at people's crowns/vertices, I've been sneaking looks lately whenever I can, comparing myself to see if mine's still normal.

Alright thanks a lot man, I appreciate it. I think it's too late though because I already obsess about it haha. It's pathetic but it got me all depressed tonight to the point where I just sat in my room doing nothing. But you're right, I'm 20 and in college. Should be enjoying life. I'd...

Hey guys, I've been obsessing about my hair for about a year and a half now. I'm 20 years old now. First I noticed my hairline was receded at the corners a bit, but just chalked that up to a mature hairline. My hairline hasn't changed much since then but still looks a little too deep to me to...
