Hi,
I just turned 30, first started noticing my hair thinning around the 25 mark.
Come 2013 things had gotten worse and seeing all the celebs being linked to hair transplants I googled some and decided to make an appointment to visit the place Wayne Rooney used here in London.
I was advised my hair wasn't lost enough for a transplant and was said to come back when I turned 30.
He also advised me to take propecia, which I ordered right away when I got home. And have been taking 1 pill a day of propecia since Jan 2013. I do believe it's helped me hold on to what I got but noticed this year my hair has thinned out some more. I also use Regaine scalp foam (5% W/W Minoxidil) twice daily and Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo 2-3 times a week.
Other then that, I don't use or take anything else. I tend to wear a cap 99% of the time and the 1% I don't, I use fiber sprays to help fill in the gaps.
My crown patch has really thinned out and looks worse cause of the over use of wearing a cap, my scalp is very white. My temples have also gone back a bit, which looks worse has I have a high forehead anyways.
I would like to know what is the next step. Is there any other medication I should try? Any treatments? Or should I increase the dose of things I am already doing.
I really am lost and just feel crap all the time as I wear a stupid base cap and everyone takes the mick out of me for wearing it. I can never dress smart, always in sports clothes to match the reason I have a cap on.
Really, really need help and just don't know who or what to turn to. I will try upload pics during the week.
Thinking of visiting the transplant clinic as he told me to comeback when I turned 30.
Thank you
David
