Since people do not like to read. Here are the pictures. Tell me what you guys think it looks like:

For those who want to read a little here: Since mid-January I've been experiencing diffuse hair loss, my sides are thinning not so much on the back. My crown has thinned A LOT, my hairline has receded A LOT, and now my sideburns are?

I don't know what you want us to say. You have to understand our perspective - we have no EARLIER pics to compare it to, AND it really doesn't look like balding just yet. It could just be your natural pattern. There is NOTHING you can do right now anyways. Your hair looks amazing right now, so just relax and enjoy life until you're 18, then reevaluate, and consider minoxidil and finasteride.

Read about BDD on google. If you think that you dont suffer from it, go see a dermatologist.

Are you kidding me? Look I have before and after pictures of when my hair was thick. I don't think I have this because on Dec. 22 I went to get a haircut and it looked completely fine; February 2 came and I went to get my haircut and my hairline receded as she pulled my hair back to trim it and I was surprised by how much it receded on the temples. Conclusion: I can't say I have "this," without realizing it. Meaning that I realized that my hairline receded and thinned drastically. I didn't just say I have it out of know where, realized it. I have went to a dermatologist and they too have confirmed that my hair is really thin and easily breakable. My hairline has receded and it receded everyday and I am not making that up, I hid my hairline from my mom up to a couple of months and revealed my hairline then and she just stared at it saying: " Maybe your right."

IF YOU DON'T LIKE TO READ: No I don't have this.

You have absolutely zero hairloss. Your crown is perfect. You have lost your juvenile hairline, which is very normal at your age, but you are at a very healthy looking Norwood 1. You have nothing to worry about.

Your pictures don't seem to show that. Maybe it looks different to people irl but those pics are fine.

You're funny, "You have absolutely zero hair loss," then you say I am at a Norwood 1? You know I can see my scalp through my hair on my crown, I do have a picture it's just really blurry.

I can't see nothing wrong about your hair

You're saying that you went to a dermatologist and he told you that you do indeed have hair loss. Why are you asking random people on the internet if you do suffer from MBP if a doctor already told you so?

you know who else can see their scalp through their crown? everybody else in the world.

i don't doubt that you may have some minor form of hair loss. if you feel it, i'm not going to tell you it's not real. but take solace in the fact that it's not male pattern baldness. try taking some iron supplements. a low ferritin level can cause diffuse thinning.

I am asking what it looks like: Alopecia, Telogen Effluvium, male pattern baldness, other; the doctor gave me nothing. She said "it is thin," that's all. The things I told her: I could see crown scalp in 15 days; I've been keeping track of this carefully and she did nothing. I'm desperate for an answer, yet (I am not trying to rude), people on here are so hopeful and nice that they seem to say things that will keep my mind off. I get it: just let it go; it's just that I'm 15 and it hurts to see this happen to me.

Hey I appreciate your honest and true response by confirming that I have hair loss. I'm perfectly healthy; the doctor gave me a transcript of all of my vitals and vitamins and they showed I was all within the high limit; one of which I was consuming to much by one mg. Thanks though.

i know the desperate feeling. in this case, we just can't see where the hair loss is. i agree that it's see-through in some parts, but so is everybody's hair when you pull it back.

you are 15 now? when did you first notice this? before, did you inspect your hair this often and this closely?

Yes!!!! I started having this at the beginning of mid-Jan. My hairline was very straight, I've always had a widows peak when I look at my baby pictures. Also a big head in general, but hairline is continuing receding everyday.

When you see your scalp when you pull back your hair means you have severely thin hair, I used to have really thick hair; where I couldn't see through my hair and see my scalp. I visually remember it, now I can? In the period of roughly five months?

Now I don't know if this counts for Telogen Effluvium, but I remember I was being all savage and sh*t and I got suspended from school. When they pulled me into the office I was utterly shocked, like as if my entire body had been electrocuted and I lost the power in my legs but was still standing. After that event roughly, I started losing hair. My hairline receded my hair thinned all over, my crown thinned as well. It was mid-January that happened when I was shocked, but it was Feb. 2nd that I saw my hairline receded and from there on my hair has just been shedding like crazy and losing my hairline.

Telogen Effluvium says if it's some "shock to the system," not emotional shock that causes Telogen Effluvium. So I don't know what I have. Thank you sooooooo much for helping a lot. Some times I just want go right now and not see suffer from it. I just want my hair gone and sometimes when I stress out about I start pulling a little but I stop.

One more thing, I from day 1 since I noticed I've looked in the mirror everyday. I have 2 mirrors in my room so I do keep a good track of it.

keep an eye on it and come back in three months and we will compare. in the meantime cover all your bases by going to a derm and doing blood tests for ferritin, thyroid, and anything else that could potentially cause hair loss.

Okay, I've been to a derm already but I'll keep a close eye on it. From my blood tests they all came healthy.

Go ask around for a good derm in your city, as the one you visited clearly didn't care too much about it if all he said was "its thin".
