The great joys of discovery

I noticed hair thinning in lined patterns, so I shaved my head. I've since let it grow in by almost a month now.

Hair is mostly there, but you can see patches of thinning.

You on a treatment regime, or just going through some sort of cycle of hairloss?

[Prometheus]

No, I am not on any treatments for this. I only found out a few months ago. I have not had time to see a medical professional about the hair loss.

Nonetheless, I tried to address it the last time I was at the doctors office, but those appointments are always rushed... And I didn't have a mirror to find the area(s), which in some ways were harder to find when I had longer hair.

The only medications that I am on now is Lithium (for a few years now). Not really sure of the cause.

How old are you and do you have Male Pattern Baldness that runs on either side of your family?

[Prometheus]

I'll be turning 26 by the weekend. Not much baldness in the family. I can only think of one uncle on my mother's side that has experienced baldness.
