Final post about my hair loss.

[Jacoby77]

Before you say "get off this sub, you have body dysmorphia!" I promise, I don't. My hair seems to be thinning, I got a ton of pic showing A TON of scalp, when dry, if I move my hair I can easily see scalp.

I'm just coming out of confusion... balding doesn't run in my family, even my mother's mother's dad had a full set till 90. If I am diffuse thinning on the top of my head, why do these pics make it seem like I'm not? Apart from the last.

Could it possibly be I have really fine hair, and they're spaced out more, but the amount of hair on my head currently is a lot, so it looks like I'm thinning slightly when I'm not? Or could I just be in early stages, so I still have a lot? Please voice ya opinion. I'm just confused, if I am diffuse thinning, idk why my parting isn't THAT bad, or my hair combed straight forward isn't showing more scalp, or my crown isn't big and thinned?

But this one where I move my hair around. And multiple others.

Well. Pic one doesn't look great but how many people on here would trade with Jacoby in a minute?<Hands go up all around>

Your other pics look fine except one that I am not sure what it's supposed to be but let me talk you down off the ledge if you want. Combed forward, it looks pretty Goddess-damn thick.

Away with thee. Off with his head says Janey. Now, now, says Will. He's only a male.

So here's the thing then says Janey. You caught it in plenty of time. What sort of solutions do you seek because you are eminently treatable so stick around and learn some things and people on the estradiol threads will at least help you.

Relax, Holy. My parting compared to most diffused thinners I see is smaller, so that's why I'm wondering why it isn't bigger. My hair also isn't that thick when wet, it feels soft and easy to run my hands through and see scalp if I move hair around. Just because my hair is better than some, in those photos, trust me, when it's dry, it feels kinda shitty.

Not sure what it's supposed to be? It's my parting lol.

I never said that I didn't believe you. Clearly you have issues in that first pic but I mean you have lots of options, min/finasteride/duta/keto/microneedling and so forth.

 

[JaneyElizabeth]

For transplants, diffuse thinning sucks but for other treatments, diffuse thinning is way better than full blown male pattern baldness.

Sure but I know myself the parting isn't that wide. Like seriously, you should be talking about the last ones I took (with all the scalp). How do I find out if I'm even balding? If I'm balding, if must have skipped two generations because I'm being honest, NO one in my family, grand parents or oldies is bald. Only one uncle, that's it.

Do I just see a dermatologist? How will they determine if its natural vs active balding?

Also I thought DUPA was the only thing making transplants hard. Like thinning in the donor area, but if I'm not thinning there, hopefully I can get one ages down the track.

I couldn't process the latter pics. One of them had a lot of scalp. Was that the temples?

Janey's rule of thumb is that you don't need a weathergirl to know which way the wind blows. That's Bob Dylan, not your rule of thumb says Will.

My temples are basically juvenile in a form, just the top has some scalp. But can a dermatologist tell if it's balding, vs natural fine hair? Because it could literally be my natural hair, there is a small chance right? I don't want the derm to just say "yep, thinning" because under the scope a natural fine hair individual will have spaced out hairs and they will be slimmer than the average.

Advice? Just trust the derm I guess?

I hear people like Selb talking about trichologists, is it? I wasn't just kidding about your not needing a weathergirl to tell you which direction the wind is blowing. Seems to us, says Will, that we would still trade hair with you but Janey's attached to her wig now, so what's the point of regrowth that nobody ever sees but we digress.

Janey almost always takes pictures from the front and honestly, I need to see your face and how your hair falls down in front. I just love it when my newly long locks blow gently about my face. What was the question again?

I promise I won't tell the CIA who you are if you post a full frontal, Janey says. We really do aim to help<curtsies>

And yes, this is the price of my advice. I get to practice my Janey shtik on you says Will. Isn't she great?

Just, I am not sure anymore who is the lead personality. Am I creating Janey or is she creating me? Goddess. Gives me chills to think about it Will says. Check out the the real-time novel, Escher, Ruby Spears and me. <winks>

Okay please enough of this will and other stuff, I'm wanting to know if a dermatologist can tell if someone is thinning, vs if they have naturally fine hair. I can't understand what you're saying it's too poetic for me.. Not being rude sorry.

I saw a trichologist already, she said I was early stages, then I said I have severe vitamin D deficiency, and she said I'm not sure actually, maybe it's because of that. So a dermatologist is my next option for a solid answer...

My hair falls down fine, when wet. But if I brush it all forward like a fringe, it's awful and quite thin depending how I air dry it. If I curtain my hair, it is better but generally it doesn't hang down thickly, and appears thinner if combed ALL, when my hair is shorter it's better. The longer my hair the more the fringe is weaker, unless I leave it to air dry at the front naturally..

Ahem. You are already on finasteride. You have too much hair to need minoxidil. You don't need to microneedle. You don't need estrogen. Use Selsun Blue once or twice a week and Keto 2 percent once weekly. Hmm. What do I have on my nightstand. Nope, you don't need progesterone. All the cool kids call it P4 nowadays. Some XY's try the backdoor by using bica, spironolactone, cyproterone acetate but nope, you don't need any of those.

By the way, I have tons of spironolactone for a trade.

You are good to go my friend. Stop fretting about your hair and get out there and start using it before you end up like the guys on here who all want to be cuckolded and made fun of. Run, run, fast as you can. Seriously, this is not the place for you. You are too well-mannered even though you don't care for Janey. That's all right. I am strictly chickly.

Seriously dude! Everything looks fine. Yes, you have done everything right.

Some guys and gals use Toppix for thinning areas but it makes a huge mess and then you will be running around with a paper bag over your head when it rains because your Toppix will run everywhere and stain your clothes. People wearing Toppix never get to skinny dip with the cool cats because they are afraid to get their hair wet.

Go bag three babes and then and only then, come back....

Best,
Will

Okay Will, but I'm not on finasteride yet so please just answer this ONE question. PLEASE. I'm very mentally depressed and hurt due to my hair, ill be honest.

My plan is finasteride, and ketoconazole. I'm just scared I'll get gyno then need surgery for gyno.

MY question. Can a dermatologist determine if its male pattern baldness or naturally thin hair. Because none of us are professionals, so even though it looks thinning to you, I'm asking if it's possible for a dermatologist to make an accurate diagnosis instead of putting a naturally fine haired individual on a pill. At this current point in time I get 0 shedding even if I pull my hair harder than ever.

You have REHL: radiation exposure hair loss. When’s the last time you’ve been to Chernboyl? Are your eyes level with one another?

You think it's a joke lol. If you want to see clear diffuse I can show. Quit trolling. Flash and clumped hair. Clearly you assume before anything

see a derm

this forum is not the best place to get a diagnosis since half the people here only can diagnose hairloss when you are a NW3 +

With that said you do look like you are thinning
