    Unhappy Actually Is male pattern baldness treatable ?

    I am really depressed as no article suggest a cure for Baldness.
    I m only 18. What should I do . I have receding hair line.
    I thought my parents would care if I tell them my feelings.
    So I said it to them but they don't care about my hair loss .
    If I said something when I am really depressed , my mom only make fun of me.
    I have lost all hope.
    I don't think they will ever understand because both of them never experience baldness and never will .

    What am I supposed to do ? Don't know what to do or think .
    Even the slightest hope is gone when they hesitated to take me for treatment .

    For a year, I keep telling my problems , they keep joking on me and says I'm not going bald . I even thought of suicide .But later I realized that if I did so, the only one who will have any kind of loss will be myself .

    For the past 2 months or so I never said anything as I realized nothing is going to work on them .

    The only hope left is in myself .
    Will there be any way to treat it if I earn money in the future.

    Someone please be kind to tell me what to do .
    I am totally lost

    There is no cure for baldness, but there are some effective treatments. Since you have 79 posts (as of the date I am responding), I assume you know about the big three: Finasteride; Minoxidil; and Ketoconazole? I would suggest you start Minoxidil and Ketoconazole shampoo (Nizoral) as soon as possible, and look into starting Finasteride in a couple of years.

    Outside of the immediate future, there is likely to be at least one new effective treatment to hit the market over the next five to ten years. You can also get a hair transplant if you are able to afford it.

    I didn't hear of Ketoconazole.

    I don't have much money. But in future i will earn it .
    But I see many bad comments about transplantation .

    Ketoconazole = Nizoral shampoo. It's a good and cheap preventative treatment for someone such as yourself with early stage hair loss.

    I wouldn't worry too much about hair loss. If you follow the treatment I gave you on my earlier post, you'll be able to retain what you have until new and more effective treatments become available. You're only 18, so concentrate on school so you can make enough money to afford all of these treatments. These things in life are sent to test us and help us grow as human beings.

    Hey man, we all feel lost, you're not alone. We have told you time and time again about the ONLY treatments we currently have: finasteride or dutasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazol shampoo... also experimentals, such as RU (which is what I am using.) You hair loss is minimal. If you are truly concerned and want to feel like you're doing something to stop it... stop posting trying to find relief here and call you dermatologists, do your research and make a decision. Will it work? Maybe.

    We all felt that way, that's why we are in this forum. Get on finasteride(Propecia) and minoxidil(Rogaine) as soon as possible. Go to a dermatologist as soon as possible, hear what they have to say.

    If you feel depressed or lost it would be very good to talk to a counselor or psychologist if you can. Based on the things you wrote in this thread I think that could be very beneficial for you. (: Sometimes problems, as real as they are, can become way overblown in our minds, perhaps due to other factors. And this is a situation in which therapy can help a lot.
