blaze_with_fire Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hi Guys, My friend recently pointed out that a bit of my scalp is visible at the crown region. After that conversation, I read a bit about whorls and cowlicks online, and am now worried/confused if I’m beginning to bald. The rest of my hair is quite thick, and there are no signs of my hairline receding. Is it time for me to visit a dermatologist, or is it okay for now (especially given the ongoing pandemic, it’s not completely safe to travel around)? Btw, I have two whorls, which I don’t think is captured well in the pictures. Please let me know your opinions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TorontoMan Posted June 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 4, 2021 My opinion is that you seek a few dermatologist consultations. While there is definitely a swirl there, there are some thinner hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted June 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 4, 2021 It's definitely thinning. How old are you if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze_with_fire Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 @UnbaldEagle I’m currently 23. I spent a few months in a place where I had to shower with hard water, which may have had an impact. Hopefully the damage is temporary. @Ramy123 sure, will do so.

blaze_with_fire Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 @UnbaldEagle even if it has started thinning, I hope it’s not too late to start treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted June 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 4, 2021 Do you have any pictures of that area from like 1 year ago? It would be great to get a comparison. Where are you located? My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

blaze_with_fire Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 @Dr. Suhail Khokhar I’m currently in Delhi, India. Owing to the pandemic, I’m not sure if it’s safe to visit a dermatologist at the moment, which is why I’m quite concerned about this. Unfortunately, I haven’t taken any previous pictures of this region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze_with_fire Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 @Ramy123 I can confirm that I have two whorls, because this is something that people have told me since I was young. I’m 23, will contact my dermatologist and see what has to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
