    You have not been using Minoxidil long enough to gain any effect from it, good or bad.

    Minxodil is for treating hereditary hair loss. What you are describing is probably not hereditary hair loss. Therefore Minoxidil might not be appropriate for you. You need to see a doctor.

    Thank for the reply!

    My dad was bald so I just thought I got it off him. My mother had very fine blond hair, as does my sister who is 40, but my sister has started losing her hair aswell? This sister isn't from the same dad as me, so do you think we could both of got something of our mother then?

    It would not be appropriate for me to try to answer that question because I am not a doctor.

    Any opinion of what you think it could be would be greatly appreciated regardless if you are a doctor or not I don't mind.

    So by going to see a doctor do you mean my gp or a actually hair doctor?

    I've had to wait over night for my hair to go abit greasey thats when it becomes noticable I have partied where it is thinning for you to see alot easier, in the photos.

    It started when I was 18 one part on the right side of my head right in the middle, then as the years have gone on it has progressed and streched towards the front on the right
