    Default I'm a little confused and could do with advice [Pictures provided]

    Hi guys, first off I just wanna say thanks to anyone who will help me out with this, its really bothering me lately.

    I'm 22, and have always had a fairly mature widows peak, even at 15-16-17, it was high for my age, but I've always had a decent amount of hair on my head.

    Some quick facts
    • My dad was completely bald by 19
    • His brothers the same
    • My mums side of the family cling onto their hair with a mature hairline
    • I have older cousins with full heads of hair

    Now my scalp went through a VERY bad phase four months ago in which I had lumps on dry patches, white flaky and huge, that could only be scratched off. Unfortunately nothing worked, until my doctor prescribed me Nizoral 2%. Great! Not really. I went on to use it for FOUR months, after not reading the paper that came with it that said not to use it for that long, and that a side effect could be hair loss

    I've provided a little timeline of pictures right until I started using Nizoral, as well as after:

    Edit: I am aware that Nizoral can be used to treat hair loss. That isn't why I used it, as my hair was fine before it, just my scalp wasn't. Hair loss is also a side effect if used incorrectly I've heard ( and read )

    After Nizoral (Four months later, now)

    My question is: Is this MPB, that coincidentally started during the time I was overusing Nizoral? Or are these the side effects of overusing such a harsh product, and will it return to its normal state?

    I never had the best hairline, but until four months ago, I was more than happy with it


    Thanks.
