hairloss help question

[mike caputo]

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum.

I just have question regarding hair loss

I am 23 years old and I have a receding hairline. its only noticbale when I pull my hair back, and the temple areas are not the same like before. In the crown area I have a cowlick, which I had since I was young. All over its still all thick

This is my family history

Maternal grandfather lost his hair. I have 3 uncles on my mothers side. One of them is 60 and lost his hair, the other is 70 and lost his hair, and the last one is 72 and still has his hair.

My paternal grandfather died at 65 but he had all his hair and was very thick all over. My father is 54 and has thick hair except his crown area has thinned. The thinning in the crown started at about 45 years old but for 54 he stll has thick hair all around. his hairline is an adult hairline. My dad has 2 brothers. One is 47 years old and has very thick hair with no hairloss at all, and the other one is 53 and has very thick hair as well.


I went to see 2 family doctors regarding my hair and receding hairline and they both said not to worry and that its a normal adult hairline. One of the doctors checked for testosterone and thyroid and result both came to be normal, and he said not to worry. But I will be going to a dermatoloist in a month to get a 3 opinion.

Basically my question to you guys is what are my chances of losing my hair? are the doctors correct or am I just being paranoid.

well its far from me to disagree with a doctor ,all i will say is that just because all your family seem to have healthy heads of hair it doesnt always mean that you will you, you could still have the male pattern baldness geans .you should defo go to a derm and even a Hair Trannsplant surgeon to get further advice. it is possible that you just have a mature hairline which doesn't mean your balding but best off finding out as soon as possible ,cause if you do have male pattern baldness then the sooner you act the better. Also you should also think for yourself if you really think your losing your hair you probably are. when i started family and close friends kept tellin me that that i wasn't losin my hair but i was and a hair transplant surgeon confirmed it. just be careful dude and try keep on top of the situation.
