Hello all!
I am new to this forum, so I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Damon, and I am 26 years old. I don't know if I am loosing my hair or not, but I have been certainly paying attention to my hairline the last 6 months or so. My dad is bald and started balding in his late 20's. His father had more hair than he did, but was still thin on top. My mom's father had a head full of hair, but died in his mid 30's. I know the gene can come from either side.
I have really been paying close attention to my hairline and have been trying to compare photos to when I was in my early 20's. I have 3 wrinkle lines on my forehead and have been comparing my hairline to the top wrinkle. I don't notice much of a change in the last 5 to 6 years, maybe a little change at the temples, but nothing set in stone. To be on the safe side, 3 months ago, I started taking propecia. The way I see it, I just want to keep what I have. After taking it the last few months, I am really wondering why I am taking it in the first place. You please be the judge....any insight from the experts would be appreciated.
Also, I have a hair whorl on the back of my head, it's smaller than the size of a dime and only seems to be visable when I have shorter hair.
