bald spot starting?

[goldbondmafia]

That's how it starts, my right temple was receding and my left was perfectly fine when I was around your age. Once I started to hit 23 my left caught up to my right temple.

I think we have the same NW, I'm currently receding but a lower state. My right temple as been the same since I was 21 and I'm 24 now. The medication I'm currently using is Proscar 3-4 times a weeks and minox foam once every other week. I've been letting my hair grow because it hides my temples better. If you notice on my left and right temple I trim down the little hair around my hairline. I know i shouldn't but it was bothering me like a motha fudga

I would say yours looks much better than mine to be honest man yours looks great. So you use the foam one week then next week no foam then 3rd week back to foam etc? Do you have before/after pics?

Got a short haircut a month ago and noticed my hairline is kind of receeding , crown and top is fine but on my left side part of my hairline its getting thinner, I don't think im going crazy or being paranoid this time see for yourselves. My dad is a NW3a at 55 so im hoping mine is similar to his.

my hair line looks exactly like those pictures above still 2 months on fin now. Do you guys think I should add in rogaine foam or wait until ive been on fin for a year before I make any moves I honestly cannot decide and have been thinking about it daily for months now....yes or no?

I just asked Dr. Cole to be sure. He said you can begin using Rogaine at any time while on Finasteride.

So I started fin on June 10 just 4 days ago. Ive been doing .5mgs and I will bump it up to 1 mg tomorrow. So far no sides or anything. Im going to post some pictures now then repost new ones in 3-4 months to see if there is any difference. My only worry is the hairline but even that is still decent for now, don't want it getting worse though. Hopefully fin can maintain everything and my hair looks exactly the same in 3-4 months!!!!!

BTW I just saw my IAHRS doctor. We took pictures last June and he said I have receeded a tiny bit. Last year he didn't think I was receeding but had a mature hairline. He noticed some hairs on my hairline starting to miniaturize a bit in the corners of each side like the pics above show.

But anyways I got 2 weeks worth of fin at 1mg each, I plan on taking only .5mg though so I basically have a months worth. Im gonna try it either tomorrow or Monday and see how it goes for a month. If I get sides im going straight to CB or RU BUT if I survive a month then ill continue.

One thing I read from a sheet he gave me after kind of freaked me out. It says the following: "Minoxidil and finasteride work in different ways and can be used together; however they are only effective as long as you keep using them. Within 6-12 months of stopping them, you will lose the hair they helped you save and it will be as if you never used them".

Does this mean if I use fin for 5 years and stop that my hair will fall out during the following 6-12 months and be at the same place as if I never took the drug and waited 5 years?

Yes, if you don't get on a different treatment and just hop off then you will lose whatever hair it was keeping alive.

My baldness started just like that. A few hairs that were missing on the top of my head.

I was lucky in a way because it took me 10 years to go completely bald, but I admit I did have a comb over in about year eight.

Something I look back on now and shudder.

Did you take any meds for it or use minoxidil?

Yeah, from what I can see, you shouldn't be starting any treatments yet -- for sure not any that are "serious" or require you to take them for the rest of your life.

Your hairline looks money, man. Chillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

Just peep it every few months.

Thanks man ye its a decent hairline for now, a bit receded in real life though. As I said Im sort of worried about the left side as it seems thin there for some reason. I just hope it doesn't get worse which is why I am contemplating fin.

Very hard to tell. Have you always had a large spiral (everyone has a spiral, that just looks a slight bit larger than usual). If you are balding, it doesn't look like the usual Male Pattern Baldness, which starts at the hairline, so talk to your dermatologist about that.

Like a cowlick? I remember I must have been like 13 and got a haircut the barber said I have cowlick on both sides I remember thinking wtf is that.. but that was almost 10 years ago I don't think I have them now. Im seeing an IAHRS doctor tomorrow so I will ask him why only my left part of the hairline has a thin patch.. I am really nervous to be honest.
