yeah man im only 21 and like as far as i know balding this early. ive actually been really stressed out since January so like im tryna make excuses and hope its that. and same im happy with my hairline although its not perfect. i also experience some itching like my hairline might itch for like 1 minute of the day and its not even bad i just touch it and boom the itch is gone. i actually got on this website tho i think in october wondering if i was balding cause i noticed my temples were far back but my hairline isnt bad at least i dont think. idk ill prolly give it a little more time and hope its not too late and f*** it ill just wear a hat if i go bald.
yeah like past couple days ive been keeping track of my hair in the shower and pillow. in the shower i wash out maybe 5-10 hairs in my hand which honestly is more than im used to. and when i woke up today it was like around 20 i swear lol. and i mean i feel like just last month i was maybe waking up to 2-3 hairs at most. my hair looks fine right now but im hoping it really is just stress but this just adds to it. if it gets worse ill go to the doctor and then decide if im going to take finasteride or something..
wow. nice
that sucks man. one of the problems im having is that my dad is just starting to bald at 51 and im 21 thinking im balding and my moms dad had good hair she said so its like im the reject of the genetic makeup in our family.
I have similar family history as Joseph and I went bald as fuk. I'm the only one to bald at 20 in my family. Tho there is hair loss,everyone has most of there hair till there 50'''s if not later in my family. I'm hoping since it's unusual in my family it indicates it's likely environmental factors. Definitely not genetic dystiny.
@Topher can you share any notes on your digestion issues? I hit 39 with zero hairloss. Dense long hair with my 15 year old hairline. About a year early a doctor started me on thyroid meds, and I had been on antibiotics for beard acne for 20 years and it destroyed my digestion. It all hit at once a huge Telogen Effluvium shed, another huge minoxidil shed and in under two years I went from nwzero to crazy diffuse nw2 and whats left is a frail birdsnest.
Lol sit down you are not NW2. You are NW1 with diffuse thinning likely due to something else other than male pattern baldness. The condition is gradual, your hair loss is likely to be all Telogen Effluvium. I am genetically balding in my early 20s and I don't shed as much hair as you do ( I saw your pics)
Sure, only 15% of the population has digestive issues like mine. I had a hemorrhoidectomy October 31. Doctor said "I had the hemroids of a 50 year old women that's had three kids" I had suffered with them several years trying every diet and medication there was. Start of October I couldn't sweep a floor without pissing blood out my *** and having to sit down in pain. That was when I found Danny Roddy and a raypeat diet. After 3 weeks on a ray peat diet I could do 8 or 10 hours of decent labour. I can't eat to much insoluble fiber due to heavy endotoxin due to my super fast digestion. This is my theory anyway. It's likely that stress had much to do with a lot of my health issues.
You have a lot of hair as well Andy and for some reason are going "Nuclear" with meds. In my opinion you should get of all your meds. Focus on your health , diet, lifestyle, mental health. It's likely you could reverse any loss you have had naturally. I'm not convinced you have anything but a muture hairline. You literally nuked you dick for some miner hairloss, and from what I can tell haven't had much success.
