My hair loss 22 years old

[Illusion]

Maybe its best to see a specialist first to check my hair for miniaturisation? I may not even be experiencing MPB, as I've had this hairline for a long time now, like 4+ years but obviously its hard to tell.

Letting a hair specialist looking at your hair is always good (granted he or she indeed knows something about hair loss). But keep this in mind: usually, when you suspect that you're balding, you're indeed balding. Besides, you're temples are thinning. However, now that I think about it, this indeed could be a maturing hair line. Hmm

Yeah, go see a specialist first. That would be best

Hey. Just took a pic of the top of my head and was fairly shocked to see a slight thinning on the top of my head. Again, I have no idea how long I've had it or how severe it is. What does everyone think?

Yeah true, it is best to see someone at least I think. After looking at old photos going back 5 years, the hair around my temples has always been like that, its my hairline that I'm most worried about.

I have to admit the anecdotal stories about finesteride causing male breast enlargement etc really puts me off going on it, otherwise I'd start using it straight away!

I don't blame you for being apprehensive. I would be the same way. I was always under the belief that the chance of sides is slim and if I did get sides I could just stop taking the drug. Taking that small risk was worth it to keep from going slick bald. The risk might not be worth it for you. I don't want to make it seem like I am forcing pills down your throat. Just try to get as much reliable information as possible and make the decision that is right for you.

Have you heard of the regenepure hair loss shampoo? It contains a substance called Ketoconazole which has been proven in scientific studies to slow hair loss?

^ Good advice. I will add that, when you start digging information about hair loss and treatments, things can be pretty overwhelming: there is a lot of stuff out there, thus a lot to dig through and often when you find information, it's an opinion or an anecdote. While the latter is not necessarily bad, you have to keep this in mind when reading things on forums.

Yes, you can start using a product for ketaconazole, that's a good thing to add to your regime. Don't expect any wonders from it though, it's just an addition, something "extra"

I'm not really expecting or even striving to achieve hair regrowth, just want to slower the process down through a product that'll work. Would ketaconazole be enough to achieve that goal you reckon?

No, ketaconazole alone is not enough to stop or even slow down hair loss, its effect is very weak. Like I said, it's more of an addition your regime.
