runningrunning Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I've always had long hair and it has always seemed thick. But I never have bothered to look on the top of my head. A couple of days ago it felt like it was think on top so I took a picture and there is a large bald spot. I am 25 and have curly hair. There is a lot of baldness on my mom's side. Any opinion much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sparky Posted September 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2009 crowns can be deciving, I thought the same thing when I was 20, but I've still got all the hair in my crown now at near 34. I cant see any hairloss in your crown in this picture.

Regular Member skunky Posted September 12, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2009 I think it's just your crown with hair twirling clockwise leaving you with a noticeable crown but it doesn't really show any signs of real hairloss to me. Maybe some thinning at most.You can always start a lifelong usage of minoxidil if it's bothering you in some way and think you are starting to bald in your crown area. Many people use minox preventative and hair growth beneficially so that would be your first tryout I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 running X 2, From the pictures, I would argue that you are experiencing the beginning signs of male pattern baldness starting at the crown. If you want an official diagnoses, consult a dermatologist and let him evaluate your scalp under magnification. Those who start treating androgenetic alopecia with Propecia and/or Rogaine (genetic baldness) early typically have a good chance at saving a lot of their hair and quite possibly, regrowing some. I hope this helps. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Marvin Posted September 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yes, your crown looks a lot like mine did when I first started balding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
