It seems to me that many around here believe that hair loss is treatable or at least it can be slowed down to some extent. Well not in my case! So here's my story. I started the process when I was around 19- 20 years old. I immediately visited a dermatologist who gave me Finasteride and Minoxidil. Even though I've used them religiously for the past 4 years I am now norwood 6.
Throughout these years I have tried all sort of stuff, increasing Finasteride, using Dutasteride, using Nizoral and shamefully used a number of other gimmicky products. Fin never gave me side effects, everything still works A ok. But my hair loss never showed signs of stopping. So why not get a hair transplant ? Well it seems that these are only available to those who are at least 30 and only have moderate balding. Unfortunately I am young, have average donor and density and a large area to fill, so I do not qualify. Therefore I have now exhausted all my treatment options to no avail.
To wrap it all up, I think there are many other youngsters who like me experience such aggressive balding that they can't halt it in any way. So yes, some of us can't do anything about it! For all those who are thinking of starting treatment please don't be discouraged, from what it seems this might be able to buy you a couple of years (I still believe it is worth a try, and wish it worked).
Sorry for sounding a bit bitter, but I felt I needed to blurt this out!
