I've toyed with the idea of setting up a consult with a hair treatment clinic, but I'm torn. Part of me thinks they'll laugh if I walk in there with a mostly full head of hair and tell me to leave. The other part wonders if they'll tell me that I need treatment regardless -- because at the end of the day, they are a business.
But thank you, I appreciate your levelheaded response. I do have OCD tendencies. This just happens to be the flavor of the month (or year). The uncertainty is the hardest part. I analyze my hairline almost every time I look in the mirror. Some days I think I'm good, the other days I'm sure I'm receding. The mixed responses online don't help.
Honestly, a hair restoration specialist would be much more skilled in looking at your hair and determining any hair loss than a dermatologist, but that's not to say a dermatologist wouldn't know what they're talking about... They specialize in the skin, and if you go to a hair restoration surgeon you're dealing with someone who deals primarily with hair loss, so there's some value in that.
If you're really concerned about it, you could set up a consultation with one who's reputable and trusted. Many of them even offer online/Skype consultations. As long as you're choosing someone with a great track record and who is highly respected in the community, they will neither laugh at you OR try to sell you something you don't need. If you want to speak with Dr. Mohebi let me know and I can help you set something up, or you can research and speak with any other reputable doctor... And again, I think this would be for your peace of mind more than anything else.
I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My opinions/comments are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.
