Dcormsby Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 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.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted November 28, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Hi Damon, Personally, I do not see any indications of hair loss in the shared images. At this point, I highly recommend a consultation with a trusted dermatologist or hair restoration physician to thoroughly review your scalp and determine whether or not the Propecia (finasteride) regimen is necessary. Good luck!

Regular Member folliclehero Posted November 28, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2011 Show off! LOL.... I wouldn't worry Damon. Even if you do need a HT at some point in the distant future, it will probably only be 1200-1500 follicular units. I understand your concern though, because hair loss is gradual and creeps up on you. Sometimes you can't tell if it's happening because you see yourself every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted November 28, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2011 At 26 you still have your juvenile hairline. You're simply transitioning to a NW2 which is where adult men should be.

Senior Member RCWest Posted November 28, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2011 You are at the age where men can go from their juvenile hairline to the mature hairline. That is maybe what you are seeing, at worst. Your hair is awesome! Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

jessica0125 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 You hair does not show any sign of you getting worried about. You can just be more cautious in hair care and this simple thing will solve all that you worry about buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
