    Default Am I starting to bald?

    Ive posted this on another forum, but thought I get as many opinions as I could. I'm 24 years old, and while I've always had a high forehead, I've notice lately more forehead. Am I just paranoid? My dad is a norwood 6, and my uncle and grandfather on that side is/was a norwood 7. On my mother side male relatives range from norwood 4's to 7's, to one or two not balding at all.

    Still great hair, but you are thinning you have options of you choose to use them. My suggestions to you are simple don't leave it too late.

    1. Finesteride
    2. Minoxidol, get 5% to start with and get some azelaic acid flakes.
    3. Regenepure DR and NT or Revita although I prefer regenepure, use daily.
    4. Supplement or good diet, ideally biotin but be carefull too much can cause acne.

    I did take Biotin supplements (well, Hair, skin and nails vitamins.) for a little while for my acne. But I ran out. Should I continue taking them?

    Someone told me I'm just a thinning Norwood 1, but I thought if I had an adult hairline (which I do) I would be at least a 2 on the Norwood scale. Any thoughts?

    I think you have great hair. No need to panic. Finasteride and Minoxidil should solve your problem.

    Thanks. Do you think the meds are something I should do ASAP?
    I'm always hesitant about taking medications. I could deal with some thinning, but if I ended up like my dad, err..

    Any ideas on what my place on the NW scale is? How fast could hairloss become noticeable once you reach this stage? Someone told me just to monitor my hair for year before talking meds. Is that a good idea?

    I would jump on Finasteride and Minoxidil ASAP but go see a doctor first. If you think you are losing hair most likely you are and not paranoid.
