Hmmm...doesn't look like traditional male pattern baldness to me.

i sleep on my back yes , i havent noticed any huge amount of shed , however i do get 1-2 hairs if i run my hang through my hair or use wax to style my hair ! what is traditonal male pattern baldness , its in a wierd position male pattern baldness from the back starts either at the crown or directly in the middle of the head ?? mines more towards the back ?

someone please chime in here , im deciding weather or not i need finasteride at 1mg a day or not ? i dont want it to get worse if it is balding >??

You should go and see a doctor before going on finasteride and have them look at your hair. What I meant was, from the angle of the photo the area that looks like there is hair loss seems too low to be male pattern baldness. When someone has male pattern baldness it is in the area of the horsehoe patterm higher on the head

it is on the back of my head , its so strange !! iu think i will thankyou for ur respoinse !! im freaking out

 

[Benjamin36]

Yeah, I don't blame you for freaking out. Make an apointment with your doctor so you can find out what it is.

Does it feel thinner than the rest? I have a friend that has a similar patch to yours (he has 2 actually) and it turns out it's his hair colour that different in the patched areas, not the amount of hair. It's harder to notice once his hair is grown out.

 

[badman22]

i actually thought that aswell, it does feel different to the rest of my head a little bit ??

It looks like a skin issue and not male pattern baldness. Your pigment seems to be lighter in that area. I know a guy that has white patches like that and his hair there looks thinner but it is still there after many years. You need to see a dermatologist. I am not a doctor but feel pretty certain it is not male pattern baldness.
