Is this hairloss? What should i do?

[Johny.track131]

im doing my best to find one but it isnt easy in my country. Small question, but is my hairline normal? Because when i look at my friends, im not sure but i think they have temples that are more up front, while im not sure if mine are too far back or it's just my hair's natural look.
Basically, is my hairline abnormal? (The one in the pictures)

No. Some males have a more dramatic "M" hair line pattern than others. Again, this itself is not an indication of MPB. Compare your hair line to those of all your male blood relatives from both sides of your family.

Small quesiton, it's been a week since i last showered (Yeah disgusting, but work is work) anyway, my hair was oily etc, and i had a shower, but the amount of hair that i saw go down was scary, if i would estimate a number, it would be around 50 or more. Is this normal? is it because of the lack of showering for a week?

If you could only count 50 hairs going down the drain after a week of not showering, you should not spend any more time on this forum. Go enjoy your life and your hair!

Ahaha, if only my paranoia would allow me to go away. Ok, a question that might help me and help your opinion on my situation. I've got a good camera with a good flash, are there certain ways to comb the hair and take pictures to show hair loss? (like to the back or to the front or split down the middle etc)

Sorry, but this is just stupid. Why you would want to try and take pictures to accentuate whatever hair loss you don't have is beyond me. If you need to try and comb your hair a certain way or use camera tricks to display hair loss, then you don't have noticeable hair loss. Period. Go away, live life. Off these forums with you.

If you're legitimately concerned, go see a derm specialist. Should you feel it necessary to treat whatever hair loss you may or may not have, get on propecia, rogaine and nizoral A-D.

Sorry for seeming like that, but i've always been paranoid about any problem i might or might not have. My main concern is that the back of my head feels different from the top (one dermo actually said that it could be because i have a hairstyle which is split down the middle). And i notice my hairs when they fall throughout the day and in the shower. It's scary. I'm looking for hairloss specialists in my country, but the quality of doctors here isnt truly that great, which is why im seeking some help here. The photo request isnt to accentuate whatever 'isnt' there. but to reveal if the length of my hair (currently pretty long) is hiding anything.

[Johny.track131]

Shit, just had another shower after a week, huge huge numbers of hairs falling, 130+, and i noticed that some are small, some are normal, their size ranges from as small as an eyebrow (but much thinner) to half the normal length of my hair, to the normal length... this is scary shit... Could these be from my maturing hairline? Also is it possible to try propecia, and stop if side effects happen and avoiding the permanent side effects? Or do they stay once they arrive. Also all of this is happening while im 18, does this mean that i'll probably be noticebaly bald while in college? (The one thing i truly want to avoid)

[Johny.track131]

just took a look at my right temple and it scared the hell out of me, especially when i compare it to my left! Please please give your opinions!

Yes, you are losing your hair. It very much reminds me of the way my hair started to go with thinning all along the hairline, including the front middle part

[mrblol]

I'm no expert but I can imagine that if you are developing a mature hairline that both temples wouldn't recede at the exact same rate.

I'm currently waiting for a dermatologist and my left temple looks way worse then my right. It's not uncommon or unheard of, I've been google'ing "hairloss" for days on end as you probably have/are.

Honestly I think that the worst thing you can do is what most people on this forum have done(including me, i know, i know i'm a hypocrite) and that's obsessing and trying to count every single hair that falls out of your scalp.

I recommend you stop rubbing your hands through your hair just to see how many hairs you can get.

If the first thing you do when you wake up is stare at your pillow and see how many strands of hairs you can find on your linens you are putting more stress on yourself then is necessary.

Stop looking at your hands after each rinse and shampoo/conditioner massage.

Let the hair specialist worry about all that stuff.

You might not be balding ! You may have a condition that the other dermatologists didn't catch. The possibilities are endless. Worst thing that can happen to you is that the hair specialist says "Yep, You got Male Pattern Baldness". But at your stage it really doesn't matter because once you start taking meds you will stop balding and might even regain some hairs that you've lost. By the time you begin to seriously bald with the meds there will be better treatment options out there my man don't stress it.

I'm going through the same thing and I'm also 18. You are not alone.

[Johny.track131]

The thing is, if i really am balding, then dermatoligists arent really helping if they keep telling me that im not, i can see a shitload of hair falling everyday, the top of my head burns like shit, and many of the hairs im losing are not as long as they should be, but they keep telling me that im fine and that my current crown's Ok. If i need to start Fin, i will, but i'll need a persecription. Did you start meds yet? and also to anyone who reads this, one doctor told me to take Nanogen serum, i bought a bottle but i still didnt start to use it... should i?

[mrblol]

I'm not on any sorts of meds because I have yet to be diagnosed by a dermatologist. However if I find out that I am balding you can bet that I would start taking meds.
