mxb1234 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm 18 years old and I have recently been shedding loads of hair. I'm not on any medication and I do have a healthy diet. Am I balding or is this just a hair whorl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member DavidAnderson Posted September 8, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2016 Looks like a hair whorl to me look how the hair around the whorl parts in other directions leaving the whorl exposed.

Pete-from-Farjo Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yeah I agree. Maybe worth taking another pic in six months or so for reassurance but I don't think you've anything to worry about.

Regular Member aletheia225 Posted September 10, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted September 10, 2016 Don't mean to be a debbie downer here, but it might be MPB, albeit only (if it in fact is) the very, very beginnings of it. Very front of your hairline looks like it might be a bit miniaturized too. Again though, very early days if it is. You do have great hair, as the first replier mentions. Regardless of whether its MPB or not, if it bothers you, one shake of toppik and the spot is no longer visible. If it is MPB, there's a chance it wouldn't be much in the way of detectable for something like 5 years or so, even without medication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mattj Posted September 13, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'm not sure how you can tell the hairline is miniaturizing from those photos. It's tough to say whether you've lost any hair or not. If you have it is very minimal. I agree with Pete in that taking photos at regular intervals is the only way to tell if anything is changing. So take some more photos in the same lighting conditions six months from now and compare. In the meantime, don't stress over it! I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.

Senior Member aWidowsPeek Posted September 14, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2016 mxb1234 welcome to the wild wonderful world of growing old haha. I hope your not losing your hair man but if you are it isn't the end of the world. Take a good look at the hair genetics on both sides of your family that will give you a good idea of whats to come.
