Hello,
The title says it all. I'm going bald at 19 and I can't even grow a beard, which is pretty unusual because facial hair is usually associated with hair loss (I think I read somewhere DHT causes hair loss but also causes the beard to grow)
Do you think I simply have male pattern baldness ? Or is there an other condition that can cause this ? Because if it is, maybe it could be treated and I wouldn't have to use minoxidil or finasteride (I don't want to use any of those, they have too much side effects).
Also, I don't know if it's relevant, but I've had growth problems (I'm 5'5, I stopped growing at 14) and doctors couldn't find why. Maybe it has a link?
Here are some photos of my hair : http://imgur.com/a/VhYio (album) and http://imgur.com/0bzQR8R and http://imgur.com/53W3Xud
Thanks
