Started 4 months, 2 weeks ago by tooyoungforthiscrap
Hey, great community here... I figured I'd start posting because well, it's falling out... Right to the point then, I'm 19 years old and I've got hair loss. My crown started thinning at 17 if I remember correctly but I didn't really worry about it then. Six months ago, I still had a little balding spot on my crown but it wasn't very bad or noticeable, you couldn't see my scalp anywhere else on ...
Looks like it's thinned out quite nicely all the way back, sorry for you bud. Good to hear your on the fin, give it a while. I'd take a look into concealers, I think toppik would work best for you..
7 months ago my hair was thick enough to not notice balding except a little bit on the crown, here's a picture I found from my first test recording with a new camcorder. It just seems so weird that it would happen so fast at such a young age. I've lived a pretty shitty lifestyle since graduating high school in 2008, being out of shape and smoking too much weed... I'm sure it's not helping...
Yeah, if it starts at a young age like both of us, it falls faster. I have also been of opinion that men with more amounts of body hair are more likely to lose sooner and/or faster.
your scalp looks inflamed "red" does it itch? NIZ should help out with that as far as your dosage of FIN it's a little weird your taking 2.5mg or even 5mg 3 times a week "I was prescribed proscar 2 weeks ago by my doctor, label said take 1/2 a pill 6 times a week, but my doctor told me to take one pill 3 times a week, so that's what I've been doing. The pills are 5mg." IMO those are ...
I've always had comments about my scalp looking red, but it's never been itchy... Something I'll ask my derm about when I make the appointment. Anyone else know any reasons/ causes that may cause hair loss that have the symptoms of a red, but not irritated scalp?
I'm now about a month into treatment, but I feel like my hair loss is still getting worse. Going back to school for my 2nd year in college and seeing everyone else's hair really made me feel a lot worse about my situation. I'm OK with going bald if I'm like 30s-40s, but I kinda hoped to keep it through my 20s, and im going bald at 19! wtf! At least I think I caught this in time, I probably would ...

I am thankful that I caught this somewhat early, but at the same time the grim future of being nw5-6 before I hit 30 looms in my mind... I haven't heard of anyone maintaining for more than 10 years on finasteride, and I'm still so young.... I hope something better comes along by the ...
I wouldn't think like that. Just keep at it on your regimen and enjoy whatever you can keep or regrow. I was at about your stage of thinning at your age. I wish I would have caught it as early as you. My dads buddy(who is bald btw) told me like 5 years ago to get on meds cause I had noticeable balding. At the time I shrugged it off cause it wasn't that bad but I wish I would have listened to him....
Those pictures are poorly lit and hide a lot of what my older ones show, I posted them to highlight the worst part (crown) I'll post a better pic later, don't get too excited for me yet

Not trying to worry you or anything and im sure people are gonna say I'm an idiot, but i would be careful taking proscar at such a young age, as DHT plays a role in "sexual" development. At 19 you could be still going through this process. Look up the functions of DHT in the...
