So I always act like it doesn't bother me.... but deep inside its killing me... that fun loving guy is dying inside me.... I am now like a reserved one... What i like now is Loneliness

India is probably not a country to live on if you are gifted with the gene.... When you go out you see a lot of Flex Boards about "Hair oils that's going to sprout out Hair from slick bald Spots" , Tons of Boards (Virendar Sehwag, Gautham Gambhir Testimonials... Hope you know them)... And whats even greater is out of every 15 Television Ads there would be atleast 2 ads About Hair Fixing and Hair Systems... And yet what's funny is that none of them wears these kind of shit....

argghh Just leave it...

Doc's here doesn't prescribe Fin.... 2 months ago i went to meet a Trichologist who confirmed its MPB.. but refused to prescribe me fin because i was not accompanied by my parent... After few days i somehow managed to bring my father to him.... Doc explained the Side effects and said that Doctors here aren't that desperate.... We left the room in silence... Later Dad just bursted upon me in the Car... I Still remeber the exact words he Said ("Whom do you think you are a Celebrity, a Film actor... U want to turn into a female.... Shut your hole and never bring me to these kind of Drama's... Just live with it" )... That was the first moment i felt sorry for Him in my entire life.. He was never fit to be a DAD... I mean i would try to understand my son's feeling if i were him..
__________________________________________________ _____________________

.OK so now here's what i am going to do... I am going to Get a prescription for Fin somehow. and Getting on it ASAP.... I Don't know if i'm doing it right... If any permanent sides occur then i would have to deal it on my own and expect no support from my Family....

If hairloss halts within an year then i would just sell my Motorbike to get an FUE and correct my Hairline.... My maternal Grandpa was a NW 2A when he died... He developed this during his 20's and just maintained it till he died... I hope it doesn't go beyond that...

And like some of you said... Shaving head is not Accepted in South India... Society just relate you to Gangsters, Rapists... heh ...

I really hope a real cure comes in the meantime... I have to start making some real Big Cash... I am not going to beg in Front of anyone....
Sounds like a plan. Don't be too hard on your father. Sometimes people just can't understand how we feel. We all need to vent sometimes and it really helps if you can find someone who will listen to you and not judge.

Because the men in your family do not bald to any great extent you could just be experiencing a maturing hairline that will end up looking like your Grandfather's. Finasteride, Minoxidil, and nizoral are your best bets right now.

Good luck and find a confidant to vent to from time to time, it will help immensely.

Of course some people don't understand it. Look around at all the average Joe's and what do you see? Lots of fat, out-of-shape, ****-health people (at least in the US, you do). Some people start getting fat and immediately realize they don't want to be a fatass and lose the weight. Others say **** it and grow exponentially.

So of course with baldness, some people just say *** it and don't worry about it. But to those who actually take pride in their appearance, they sometimes want to *do* something about it (of course there's a third category here I'm omitting, and that is those who don't look too bad with or without hair). Of course the problem is, hair loss is harder to fight than weight gain, sometimes impossible to fight. Your dad can't understand because he knows people who've gone bald and didn't freak out about it.

If you move abroad, it would be more accepted. I'm blond, and I personally feel it's the worst to go bald when you're blond, light skinned, and with a big head like mine (except maybe if your east Asian...might be worse since it's so rare for them)

It sounds like you don't have the money to consider a transplant for a while (and you aren't a good age for it). Google "toronto movie hair". They make some good hairpieces, from the YouTube videos. I went the HT route, but now in my 20's, sometimes I wonder if I should've just gone the piece route, because my hair won't last forever.

I cometely agree with this!

Hey, if you have in fact confirmed it is MPB, I don't think getting the meds from a chemist shop is difficult. I would think in India you could tip the guys at the chemist shop and get what you need... always struck me as the place that sort of thing would work. I mean, if you can buy a politician I'm pretty sure you can get some finasteride.

If you are in south, maybe pay a visit to dr. radha rani, not for a procedure now, but maybe for some advice. Wait until you are NW3 or worse before considering HT.

Default You can turn it around

Baldat21

At your age, if you start taking propecia/finasteride and combine that with rogaine (or regaine in australia and some other countries) you will most likely turn it all around. There is a website in India which is an online pharmacy AllDayChemist - Prescription drugs, Generic medicines, online indian Pharmacy where you can buy both finasteride and rogaine (or their generic equivalent) and have it delivered.

Seriously man your way to young to be stressed like this over something that you can take control over. Anyway, try both and wait at least a year, I guarantee you'll see significant regrowth.

Good Luck.

It get's better

Hello BaldAt21;

Man, I really emphasize with you. One of my very best friends had diffused thinning hair in high school. In the party macho days of young manhood and chasing girls he was already sporting the friar tuck thing...I experienced his angst first hand, though later on I would have my own journey. Let me this mate, society has a lot of *&^%@# hang ups as you mentioned and your feelings are quite normal. On this forum we help each other through. I would by happy to accept your call offer free advice if you like. We can Skype or I can send an toll free number to my office. It may be hard to put a smile on your face but many have been where you are. This forum is about sharing and helping one another. You are not alone on this journey...many of us have been where you are. Hope to hear from you, Michael.

Hey bro!

Been through all of those feelings and now at 40 plus, I enjoy a full head of hair. All of the suffering and pain is gone but there is always something else ( see the Buddah)

Remember, it is not forever and many of your peers who have hair now, will not in 20 years!! You can always take meds and get a HT if you wish at a later time!!

You are young and remember, you still have hair now!!!! Take action and enjoy your life

Hello Bald@21;

You had some concerns over the holidays and as we enter this New Year, just wanted to follow up and see how your attitude is towards your hair loss and what professional advice and steps you might have taken. All the Best, Michael.

So sorry to hear about your feelings. I have been there, my condition caused me to feel very depressed and turned me from an extrovert into an introvert. I started to have major hairloss at 30. I do think you need to see someone to discuss your feelings and hope you get it sorted out soon.
