Regular Member theonebart Posted November 3, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hi guys, I have always had really thick hair I don't really have a receding hairline at all, but I did notice the other day this weird open area near my scalp. I'm 26 years old. I believe it is a cowlick, but I'm not 100% sure. My hair stylist said that it was, but I'm still nervous. I took a picture where I parted it to maximize the open area. Does anybody think that it's potential baldness or just a cowlick? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessie1 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Theonebart, I will credit you with a sensible answer bearing in mind the lengths you have gone to. If ya muckin me about I will come looking for a young looking dude with a great healthy head oh hair! Just in case that doesn't answer your question, you look in good shape. I do not detect anything of concern. Photos don't always show the real deal though so if you are that concerned keep your eye on it and address any change by having it diagnosed. Hope that helps, Jessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cant decide Posted November 5, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 5, 2011 This does not remotely look to be MPB. Go and enjoy life and don't create problems for yourself that are not there.

Jason305 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 i guess that's a regular thing, it's not like a hair loss. People from Asia have that even when they are young i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member El Nino Posted November 6, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 6, 2011 It's very hard to diagnose early balding in the crown. Some people have a more noticeable swirl than others. If you are seeing changes then maybe you are just starting to thin. Keep a close eye on it and get on Finasteride and/or Minoxidil asap if you definitely are balding. Not everyone has a receding hairline with crown balding. My Hair Loss Website - Two HTs with Dr. Rahal and SMP at HIS Hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ziggy00 Posted November 8, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 8, 2011 That looks fine to me. But MPB is something hard to catch early, mostly because it's really hard to tell. If you're going to be anxious about it all the time, have a hair doctor look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
