Senior Member MrJobi Posted October 15, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2006 Hi Could be the beginning of male pattern baldness. People lose their hair differently . Get on propecia to top it . See a doc JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor.

carlos-pm Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 But isnt hair loss a thinning of hair? My hair is thick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Hello Carlos and welcome to the forums. Do you happen to have pictures that you could show us? Would pictures even show us what you are talking about? I'm not sure what would cause hair not to grow other than perhaps the hair is starting to die due to Male pattern baldness. However, as you stated, it's thicker hair...but comparing it to the rest of your hair, is it still as thick or is it thinner? Is the coloring the same or is it slightly lighter than the rest? I assume you are talking about natural hair that you have correct? Meaning, have you had a hair transplant? I hope this helps. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlos-pm Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Ok , here are the pictures. The rest of my hair is the same thicker too, but it is more flexible and slightly dark than the hair of top of my head. I think it is because its is lubrificated. Hair on the top is more light because its dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member kamin Posted October 16, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 16, 2006 Looks like you may have the beginnings of MPB on the crown and a slightly receding hairline (just my opinion). As Mrjb mentioned, go see a dermatologist or Coalition HT doctor for a check-up if you're concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted October 16, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi After the pics it is surely Male pattern baldness. Classic receding in the forehead with a slip thinning in the crown.. Get on Propecia if you want to keep what you have for now.. Minoxidil can help you with the crown area too Good luck JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.

carlos-pm Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Do you think start with 1mg or 5mg of finasteride ? Can I only stop the hairloss process or can I reverse this condition ?

I use a combination of Minoxidil and Propecia, and I've definitely seen considerable regrowth. It's worth a try... good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I only stop the hairloss process or can I reverse this condition ? 1mg is all you need for hair-loss halting or growth. Finasteride works different on some people. You may halt the loss and not get any growth, you may get growth, or you may not get anything. The odds are with you, however, if you get on it and give it a try.
