Hi there,
I've only just turned 22 and I believe I'm starting to lose my hair. My first indication was a few months ago when my then girlfriend was stroking my hair and mentioned I might go bald young. Didn't really think anything of it until now when it started to become apparent to me. I don't know if it's been like this all along and I've only just noticed it or if it has been getting worse lately.
I never really paid attention to my hair before now so I can't really remember what my hair is supposed to look like to know if it's any worse or if I'm being paranoid! I do believe my hair is thinning on top and I think I have a larger bald patch around the crown than I used to.
I've attached some pics; right now the thinning is only really noticeable in harsh light or when my hair is wet. First pic shows my hair wet and dry in places to show the difference. I'm not sure if my hairline is receding or not - I don't think it is but I've attached a pic of it to get others' opinions. Last pic might be a bit hard to make out but it's of the bald patch around my crown.
I've read a lot of topics here and one difference I have noticed between mine and almost everyone elses' stories is hair falling out. I have noticed no loss of hair, I can run my hand through my hair/tug at it and it is just as strong as ever. Does this have any significance at all?
I've just ordered some Nizoral. Do you think it would be worth going to the doctors to try and get a prescription for Propecia?
