20 YO possible Thinning?

[ryan555]

Hey guys,

So I went to the dermatologist. She is one of the well respected ones here in MTL. She is a little on the weird side and shows no respect to time constraints but people still come see her regardless.

She is also Bald ( the irony), she checked my hair, she didn't magnify it but she looked at my roots and pores. She said my hair is thinner on the top as usual to all men my age. She looked at my pores and said their very healthy. She said I have healthy hair and that I am overly paranoid at the moment. She also said that most men like animals shed most hair in November and December and that anyone out their who are currently panicking should not worry and look at their hair volume in February...

Regardless, she said for my age, I have very healthy hair. So I was very happy to hear that. Like the poster above me mentioned, I will still look at my hair every six months and just be proactive. I thank you all for your responses!

I noticed the same thing in my cowlick when I was 19. When light shined on it, it looked like my crown was thinning. I'm almost 40 now and it looks pretty much the same. I wouldn't worry too much at this point.
