Hi everyone,
I made a post on one of the forums which hasn't been answered yet but I thought I would introduce myself here so people get to know about me before I make a load more posts.
I started losing my hair in a minor way when I was about 15. Very small recession at the hairline but that was about it. My hairline didn't move very much in the following years- it was high but it receded slow enough for it not to be noticeable that it was happening and it still had the same thickness (which was admittedly thin anyway)
I'm 29 now and my hair is falling out rapidly. Even in the last month alone its noticeably thinner. I don't know what happened really. Just over a year and a half ago not long after I'd come off being on holiday I noticed that a chunk of the hair had fallen out on the right side of my hairline. I didn't think much of it until the other side of my hairline took a hit as well.
I asked the doctor for propecia and after I'd taken a months supply, my hair began falling out even worse than before so I stopped taking it. The deterioration continued over the following year and a half but not at such a rapid rate as I'm experiencing now. I have my hair shaved very short because one side is so receded that it just looks like I have no hair there anyway. If I grew it it would just look like a thin line of hair going down my head.
I don't know why but the last month has seen the whole of one side of my hairline gone and a big part of the other. It even looks worse today than it did 3 days ago.
I think I have a good enough donor area but I don't know how many hairs will be able to be used at the back of my head. I was thinking, I have some body hair that I actually don't want and killing 2 birds with one stone might be an idea with that.
I also have that annoying hair that grows around the back of your neck near the hairline close to where the beard grows. I have to shave that hair off even more that I have to buzz my head. Can you use that hair, or would the scars be too obvious?
Thanks for reading,
David
