CityGuy78 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 For years I've been a compulsive head scratcher. There is no baldness in my family at all, yet my hair is dissappearing. I'm 36. My hair should actually be really thick, but all through my twenties I would scratch and pick at my scalp and now it's damaged. Started at the front but I recently shave my head and as you can see in the pic, it's patchy and thin all over the crown. I was thinking of going to Thailand to get hair transplant. Could this be fixed? How much do you think it would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member watch4norwoods Posted May 25, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted May 25, 2014 It's called androgenic alopecia, and you have MPB. Look to be a NW5 diffuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted May 25, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2014 I agree, sorry man, but you drew the mpb gene from someone. Could have been a recessive gene that one of your parents carried but it is very likely that someone in your family was bald somewhere in your line.

CityGuy78 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Bummer. It can be fixed with hair transplant though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hsrp10 Posted May 25, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2014 you could probably also have seborrheic dermatitis, which in a one-two combination can accelerate MPB hairloss. SD can be treated but not cured, so even though you have a transplant it will still come back, the procedure may even exacerbate it in the short term. talk to a doctor or dermatologist about your scalp issues, and also consult with a recommended physician here about hair restoration. go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
