    Am i starting to bald?

    Ok so I recently got off of Accutane, and my entire treatment as well as up to now I have been extremely paranoid about losing my hair. I got out of the shower today and noticed like 15 hairs left in the tub, so I took this picture of the back of my head. I haven't receded at all in the front, I just am not sure if I am being paranoid and it's a natural whorl or have something to worry about. My hair is still a little wet in this picture as well.

    Hmm, not the clearest picture but from what I think I see you might have some crown thinning. Like you said, your hair is wet so maybe not. Don't panic though. Take another picture in a few months and compare. If it gets worse you can start treating.

      Your hair looks OK overall but I agree with Notcoolanymore
      That would be the best way to determine whether or not you do actually have hair loss.

          Checking out your newest pic, I have the same reply, maybe just maybe you are losing a bit on your crown. At this point don't panic and just document. Take more pics every couple of months or so and compare. If you see it getting worse start treatment.

            . In my opinion I would say no. You appear to have mod thick hair. I wouldn't start stressing at this point. Looks good, Mate. Cheers

              If you live in the Atlanta area, you are welcome to come in for a HairCheck at N/C. HairCheck along with other information can give a decent evaluation of hair loss and the probability of future loss.

                In my opinion you are not losing your hair. Did you know humans shed 150 hairs per day? Our hair falls out and the follicle grows new ones all the time.

                Dont worry about losing some hair in the shower. You are supposed to.

                  Serious?! Head hairs only? I didn't know it was that many. I don't have that many to spare.

                    Thanks to everyone for responding, I've been freaking out about this for the past 6 months(since the start of accutane) I've probably taken hundreds of those pics and it they pretty much always look the same.

                      Good! Try not to worry about it then. Just take pics every few months and compare. Don't sweat it. Too many other things your mind should be on instead of all this hair loss crap.
