Hey just making another post about my hair again. So I am sure my hairline has recessed at least a centimeter since I was 17 years old (I am 22 now). However, in the past year, I have experience a lot of thinning all over and shedding, even on the outer edges and outside 3rd of my eyebrows.
I have been to 3 different dermatologists. I'm still in the early stages of hair maturation and MPB if I am correct so it almost looks as if I'm crazy to say I am starting to bald. Thus, after asking all 3 dermatologists about my hair loss, they INSTANTLY tell me that I do not have male pattern baldness. They don't even look at my hair closely or touch it, they ignorantly tell me I do not so that they can move on to their next patient. I try to redirect their attention by informing them that I know for a fact (because I am me of course) have noticed a significant amount of thinning. However, they immediately fire back at me and say "YOU DON'T HAVE BALDNESS" then they go off and get a medical book and 'prove' it to me.
I have to say, doctors can be very ****ing ignorant. I know myself better than them because I touch my hair, compare hair in the front and back, and I monitor it. There are doctors like these who just want you to get the **** out of their way so they can go on break early. This is reality so do not let a doctor tell you that you don't have any problems and end up with further recession like I did.
Some example phrases or responses a doctor will say to you if you are young and do not appear to be balding:
"I think it's a little premature to think about balding don't you think?"
"Here let me show you some pictures of actual balding"
This is the most devastating one I've ever ****ing experienced: "YOU DON'T HAVE IT!!!" With the angriest goddamn hell ****ing face in the world like she wanted to murder me in cold blood. ****ing bitch, I hope she goes to hell.
"You have plenty of hair! What are you worried about?"
Anyways, just a heads up. Take control of your life and don't let an arrogant **** doctor tell you things that aren't true. I don't care what anyone says (I am going to be a doctor myself and have worked with them for years now), you are your best doctor, a doctor does not know more about you than yourself, FOR SURE. Many doctors, because of their social status have been brainwashed to think that they are more knowledgable than the rest of the world. Especially and obviously, their patients. However, only to a certain degree. Of course they will know biological interactions and medical conditions better than the patient, but the patient knows what he/she feels, observes, and experiences in his/her life. Many doctors are straight up shit.
On to my hair experience...
So I have noticed thinning all around my head and eyebrows. I've done MASSIVE amounts of research on this now. I use to have ABSURDLY thick hair that barbers would joke about, hair that literally pierced my skin before because I sat up against some that were stuck on my shirt after a haircut. Yeah, they literally stabbed me. I know, thick as ****. I later learned about telogen effluvium, which is thinning all over. Main causes being stress, hypothyroidism, birth, emotional condition, etc. I know that I have had slight recession on the temples, so yeah I might be experiencing a little bit of alopecia at this stage, but it should not be this quick. So..... taking into account that I have thinning eyebrows and diffuse thinning all over my head evenly... I have a strong hint that I have something more or other than male pattern baldness. My hairline is really not bad, I'm just anal and obsessing over it. But it is slightly receded back. Anyways, it may be because of stress, hypothyroidism, or another underlying condition. This is my strongest hypothesis because it happened so quickly. I will be getting blood tests and a physical check up very soon. I will keep updating too.
So those of you who are experiencing hair thinning or other such matters, please do your research and observe your hair, and be open minded. Always have hope that your hair will get better and don't let anything get in your way. Also find a consistent doctor you know you can rely on and most of all, don't kid yourself, and don't let others kid you. Be real about it and flow with reality.
Life is very short, explore the world, smile, and let it be. Hair strands won't go down in the world famous hall of fame book.
I'm done rambling, sorry. It is late. Any replies are appreciated / welcome. Thanks.
