Ffar,

 It is literally impossible to give you any feedback without pictures. So I’m assuming the links that you presented might go to some kind a photo or album you’ve Presented somewhere however the links are not hyperlinks and a lot of people are going to copy and paste them especially on a mobile device. So my advice is to upload the photos directly to this forum so people don’t have to copy and paste links.

Best wishes,

Bill

Is thininng confined to the crown? You stated this was caused by an anxiety disorder, so is this not male pattern baldness?

If it's not genetic hair loss then it will probably come back if you give it time.

Are you presently taking any preventative medication such as finasteride ( brand name propecia)? It works very well at preserving the crown and often grows some hair back in that region.

I'd consult a physician about obtaining a prescription for it ASAP if you aren't currently taking that medication.

I would advise against a surgical hair transplant until your hair loss is stabilized, your thinning is minimal and it isn't definitive if it is caused by male pattern baldness.

So start taking finasteride and re-evaluate your hair in about six months, take pictures and compare, a year from now after being on the medication, if your condition remains unchanged or improved, then I would advise against a surgical solution and think medication is sufficient.

But you won't know until you try it out.

Thank you for respond.

What happened was that at age 20-21(I don’t remember exactly) I was losing hair, overall. It could be caused by very strong stress in my life, I was almost suicide. But one day I used for very first time Nizoral shampoo because I read it is good, and drama happened. After I washed my hair, my scalp was dry and follicles were like burn out and killed. When I combed my hair ONCE in I had like 100 hairs on it… I had anxiety attack, panic attack and I start “combing” my hairs by hand and scratching mostly in area that is thinning on picture.. I lost like 500 or more hairs on that day. Same or next day I bought Vichy Decors red one and I never experience hair loss since then.

Well I am not on finasteride, because it was a nightmare for me. I have souvenir like gyno I have even similar side effects on Saw Palmetto but I am on it from some time. And I decided due my desperation try again Nizoral 2%. I am doing it twice a week. Did not experience that drama like for the first time but I don’t see much regrow on head, but my chest became very hairy, and my beard hair are much thicker and more dense. 

If it comes for medication, I am full of hope for Fevi. Since nothing happed with my hair for almost 10 years this next two years can wait. But my body crashed on Finasteride. Hand shaking, blood pressure up, insomnia, gyno, paradox is that my sex drive grown up( but it could be not for long ).
