Hello,
I posted a little while back before my derm visit. Thank you for all those that reply.
Went to my 4th Derm.
Derm 1: Looked at my hairline/hair & said looks completely normal for you age. As we age your hairline will go back. If it bothers you can try Minoxidil but I do not see a reason to do that.
Derm 2: Looked at my hairline/hair & said yep you have male pattern baldness. I said OMG will I go bald. He said I can not predict that but it is highly unlikely. You can try Minoxidil if you want for your temples. Confused with how I can have male pattern baldness but can not go bald.
Derm 3: Looked at my hair/hairline & said I do not see anything aggressive here looks completely normal for your age. I do not recommend any treatment. He said I do not see any miniaturization but just check every 6 months & go from there.
Derm 4: Looked at my hair/hairline & said your temples have gone back slightly with your front hairline having zero recession., no crown or vertex loss. Looks like regular aging to me. I asked him that I was scared because I did not want to hop on Propecia late instead of being preemptive. He said it could very much stop since you have no thinning & it would be a bigger risk jumping on Propecia.
Family History;
Dad: 55 Yr. Old NW1 No balding
Mother: No balding
Grandfather(P): 76 Yr Old. NW3 No balding(No Crown or Vertex Loss)
Grandmother(P): No Balding
Grandfather(M): 72 Yr. Old Started at 18 Bald
Grandmother(M): No balding
Should I listen to last Derm?
Thank you again.
