    I need some advise. Just how bad is my crown, and how much finasteride should I be taking for it?

    My crown is rather thin but that’s just the way my hair grows. So yours could be the same. Wet/greasy hair always looks thinner than it actually is. Temple points and hairline shots would allow people on here to give a better opinion.

    You might just have really fine hair. I don’t see any balding. Perhaps you could share photos of your hairline and temple points. Do consider consulting a doctor before hopping on meds.

    Sudden hair loss with stinging, itchingm burning

    I had a “burning scalp” condition about 2 years ago. The issue went on for months. I saw a dermatologist who gave me some antihistamines which worked a little but never got rid of it. I did shed a fair bit during this time. Thankfully the condition only lasted about 6-8 months and then it...

    Katie Ladecky hairline is full blown NW3

    Pretty much the same hairline since she was young. Nothing else to look for here, really.

    Am I balding? I am a 24 year old male and currently facing hairfall issue.

    Not balding or thinning. My crown looks like that when it’s wet and in certain lighting. also shed a ton at certain times but it’s all good.

    Is my scalp thinning? Or just natural since hair is thinnish.

    It might be good to get a second opinion from another doctor. I’ve ever had 2 dermatologists give me different/opposing diagnosis for the same problem.

    17M is my crown thinning now? anxiety BACK :)))

    The way I look at it, it’s more the anxiety that we as a community can help with through reassurance. I doubt we can do much for the BDD (assuming there is one).

    All good. No thinning as far as I can see. You are 17. Go and enjoy your life.

    A question regarding little raised dots on scalp ( pictures included

    I have small red dots every now and then which get filled with pus and then crust over and heal. Most are just like whiteheads. Dermatologist said it was scalp acne and nothing to really worry about. Best to see a dermatologist.

    Can anyone tell me what exactly this is , tips ?

    Looks normal. More just the way your hair grows and the light hitting it. Perhaps post photos of your hairline and temples. Nevertheless, it looks normal to me.

    Does Anyone Anyone Else Here Think Hair Loss Comes From Dad? (plus A Poll)

    Both my maternal and paternal grandfathers were NW5 and up. My father had fine hair and deep temple recession but no balding on his crown. I think I might have dodged it. So it’s pretty much a generic lottery with the odds being more in your favor if you have fewer balding relatives.

    I'm 19 and I'm not sure if im going bold. Whenever I put hair gel on my fringe pieces of hair come off sometimes, thoughts?

    Looks like a cowlick. Just the way your hair growth pattern is on your crown.
