what should i do now?

i've also noticed that although none of my male relatives have mph my mother has definitely suffered from hair loss in the frontal region- what are the chances eh? so I probably got it from her- which is frustrating as I have no male relatives to compare to

If its bothering you that much you need to go to a qualified trichologist (I'm assuming you're in the UK from your posts) and just fork out for a scalp biopsy mate. They are quite pricey, I think £100 ish, but at least then you will know for sure if its miniaturisation and can take appropriate action. Like you say, I would avoid places that try to sell you products (i.e Belgravia) you need to go to an independent place. ATM no-one on the forum can 100% give you the answer that you're looking for.

Oh right okay do you know of any such places that do them?
Thanks

I'm no expert but I think the key rule is to make sure that the clinic is a member of the International Association of Trichologists. Some hair transplant clinics can check for miniaturisation too.
