Hi all,
where do i begin, well i am a 31 year old you just just started losing my hair, i guess the last year or so. Anyways I am the youngest of 6 sons and also the youngest of all the male cousins on both my mother's and father's side. As fate would have it of all my brothers, I am the only one you started losing my hair. The ages of my siblings are roughly, 46, 43, 41, 38 and 35. The bad/good thing is that all of them have not shown any signs of balding. So I am guessing even if they start to lose it now they may hang on to a fair amount until a good old age. Well my dad only started to thin out i guess in his 50s and still had a fair left when he passed away at 68. Did I mention none of my cousins are losing their hair either.
Anyways I finally went to go see a dermatologist and he immediately put me on propecia and 5% minox.
I guess what I want to say is that the last few months has been an absolutely horrible. I would often get up in the middle of the night to look at myself in the mirror and imagine what i would look like bald, lye awake in bed thinking that I will be the only bald man in my family and how can genetics be so selective.
I do think that I caught it early though, since I have only receded in my right temple, and my left temple still look like what it did when i was 15. I was born with a wicked widows peak, the only man in my family and my right temple was always a little higher than the left. I am not really asking much, I would just like to make it till forty, maintain what i got and then bow out graciously.
