Be careful with the seborrheic dermatitis, minoxidil solutions can dry out and irritate your skin, potentially cause the s. dermatitis to flare up. Same goes for hair styling products that contain alcohol. Its why I don't use topical minoxidil, hopefully your case is not so sensitive like mine.

 

Helpful shampoos to try. I use Nizoral and H&S a few times a week to help keep things calm.

• Pyrithione zinc (Dermazinc, Head & Shoulders)
• Selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue)
• Ketoconazole (Nizoral A-D)
• Tar (Neutrogena T/Gel, DHS Tar)
• Salicylic acid (Neutrogena T/Sal)

 

 

Thank you very much for the warning, I'll be careful. I bought a special shampoo for seborrheic dermatitis (I don't remember the name now) but I think it will work.

That was me about 20+ years ago...it's a lot thinner and more widespread now. I took fint for a year about 12 years ago and i saw some pic's. I almost had a full of hair again...can't remember why I stopped.

Right now leave it..it's fine....see every couple of years. I guess the longer you put off med's/procedures the better..? I think you will be ok for quite a few years.

 

Many thanks for the reply. Yes, the dermatologist said that for now I'm ok. If it starts to get worse I will just accept it, I personally am not willing to take the risk of controversial side effects that come with the medication.

Thank you very much for everyone's help, the dermatologist said that yes I have male pattern baldness together with seborrheic dermatitis. She said it is uncertain that I will lose my hair completely as the men in my family stabilize between Norwood 2 and Norwood 3. She even gave me minoxidil to use in the treatment, I hope it works!

Thank you one more time. Your answers were of great help.

Sorry if something got messed up here, English is not my main language.

Thank you very much for the answers! I scheduled a dermatologist for tomorrow and I hope everything goes well! I will inform you tomorrow of the report.

I even did that method of using a roll of toilet paper to take the picture of the scalp with more light, and even so, the top of my head doesn't seem to have thinner strands than the one on the side of it, but in the crown area it is as if I had less hair growing.

And there is also a problem, my hair was never thin, to tell you the truth it is very thick, I am not having a significant hair loss, but from time to time I see almost invisible hairs loose on my keyboard computer, extremely thin and colorless hair, it worries me a lot. I am considering going to a dermatologist, if I do I will tell you what the result was. Thank you all.

The first photo is from the top of the head, the second is from the side.

So is everything okay? When my hair is wet I can also easily see my scalp, but when it is dry I cannot, with the exception of the part around the whorl/cowlick.

I will leave some more pictures here, if you can help me I will be grateful!

So without hair loss? When my hair was even shorter, at the back I could see some of my scalp close to the cowlick, but now that it is longer it is no longer possible to see it, as I showed in the photos above. I had never shaved my head before, I have no idea if this kind of thing is normal.

Thank you!

18y, male.

I recently shaved my head and noticed it in my hair. I had an intense hair loss at the beginning of the year, but it was due to my bad care. I have no bald relatives, all the men in my family (my father, uncles, cousins and grandfathers) are not bald, only my uncles and grandfathers have a hair line in Norwood 2 and the oldest in Norwood 3, but none completely without hair, even the older ones.

Am I going bald? And if so, what measures should I take?

Thanks in advance.
