  1. So i started using revita and my hair loss came to a halt and it thickened up quite a bit i was so happy. Got my blood work done, my Testosterone is 756 ng/dl and my DHT is 29... A high DHT level would be like 70. Im always Anxiety ridden about stuff, and its weird the dermatologist told me to do a hair tug test, and i tugged hair all over my head and didnt get 1 single hair to come out. HOWEVER when i rub my hands through my hair, hair seems to come out? Not all the time but occassionaly.. (Yes i rub my hand through my hair frequently throughout the day cause im always stressing about it) and recently it looks as if its been coming out more lately? Idk if its going through a stage but the dermatologist told me that the most effective sign of hairloss is a hair tug test, if you tug your hair and you pull out 6 or more hairs in 1 tug thats a problem.. Im not pulling ANY out, however when im rubbing my hands through my hair its coming out here and there. And it bothers the hell out of me.. People are tellin me "Your hair looks so thick, looks good!" but me seeing these hairs comes out still depresses me.. Any help guys? Im worried. And its weird i took a shower and i was losing more hair in the Donor area than on the crown or front! lol! I mean i know hair is going to come out thats just natural. But like every 3rd or 4th time i rub my hands through my hair i see a maximum of 1 hair each 3rd or 4th time.. Maybe im crazy and analyzing way to much... When i shampoo i dont see hairs on my hands or on the towel. But its like after it dries and i rub my hands through the hair, i see some hairs. Maybe they are loose hairs from it being wet? Whatever it is, its bothering me bad, i just dont understand how i can tug and yank at my hair and NONE come out but if i just rub my hands through my hair (NOT VIGOROUSLY) i get a hair here and there... Make sno sense.
  2. Im very scared to run Propecia, or Dutast due to the sexual impotence effects it can have on people (With my luck id probably be part of the 2.5% of men who get it) So whats the deal about Azelic Acid?
  3. I will make an appointment to make sure either. Hopefully its just my hair, but then again this is the first time ive ever actually analyzed the back of my head.. EVER lol.
  4. Yeah those damn swirlies make everything bad lol. What makes it really bad is that i have 2 of them right next to each other, my hair grows from side to side so im sure its not as bad as what it seems. Cause in person people say they dont notice anything.
  5. Well what alot of people tell me is that my hair looks NOTHING like it does on the camera. Seems as the camera is playing tricks on my scalp. Random people, family, friends say they dont notice ANY thinning. But yet when i take a picture of it, it looks messed up. I dont understand. When my hair gets very long that isnt noticable that much. But i dont understand how im losing hair when im really not!! lol. I am not shedding at all, no noticable hair loss. On pillows, shower ETC. However i was stressed for a period of time and once i stopped stressing ALOT of hair came back. I am a bodybuilder and have used AAS substances. But never expierenced thinning even on the highest DHT AAS such as Winstrol/Masteron. Nizoral seemms to really help alot. Just freaked out, my scalp is itchy but i have dry scalp/dandruff so yeah. No hair loss is noticable as far as seeing any hair anywhere.
  6. I took the pic in better lighting you can see where the 2 cowlicks meet and its pushing my hair. However taken from far away noone notices. NOW here are pics of my hair VERY short like a 1/2 on the clippers now when i cut it that short you can barely see the cowlicks. I have been using Nizoral Shampoo and believe it or not i have been seeing new baby hairs come in. Thing is, im not shedding, i maybe lose 10-20 hairs a day (Which is above average). There is like 2 hairs on my pillow in the morning and i maybe lose 5 in the shower after shampooing. My hairline has receded a little but thats my father and his brothers and it doesnt bother me, here is a pic.. Not that noticable.
  7. Well dont forget my hair is cut VERY short, thats like a 2 1/2 on the clipper. I REFUSE to use propecia due to Impotence that my friends have expierenced. So noooooo way. And i didnt just ask my parents ive asked other random people (Yeah wierd) and they say they dont notice anything.

  9. Hi im alex in 21 years old and my mom and dad always told me i have 2 cowlicks in the same spot, of course ive never looked at the back of my head till now lol. I didnt know cowlicks can part your hair and make it look like a bald spot!!! Anyways can you tell me if these are cowlicks or if its androgenic alopecia . I hope not... Anywho my hair is cut really short as well so im sure it brings it out more.... My parents assure me its always been like that (Althought ive never looked at the back of my head). And nobody has said anything to me about it so idk if im being paranoid or not.
