Do I have any hope?

[B231]

I am starting to diffusely thin all over the top of my head and even sides...

You DEFINITELY have hope, especially because you might not even be suffering from androgen alopecia.


Worst case, and you are, the vertex is the BEST place to have androgen alopecia. In fact, both Finasteride and Minoxdil were FDA approved/tested on the vertex only (but both work on the hairline as well, depending on the individual).

Take it from someone who has been balding for a long time, and has seen MANY photographs of people who are balding as well.

Best of luck. Personally I think seeing a doctor will help you put your mind at ease (because you might not have androgen alopecia, hopefully you don't).

Thanks for the reply.

I seem to be thinning everywhere even on the sides and back. And my head is always itching and burning. Is that common with Male Pattern Baldness?

I have been doing a ton of research and fear I may have retrograde alopecia...

Donor area is thinning..

Are you on Finasteride?

[richter101]

Hey!

Yes. Do what people are suggesting. Take finistaride. And.. start saving up for an FUE procedure on your crown.

That's what I did. Best decision of my life.

Just liquid Finasteride. Occasionally I use one milligram of solid Propecia.

If you have retrograde alopecia, it is from tight hairstyles. Don't really
know a lot about that.

[k9gatton]

What I do know is that long hair in itself doesn't cause baldness.

It has to be a tight hairstyle, and pulling.

Hello Chippy!!
First of all, how old are you and what exactly is your scalp's issue?
It would be good to see photos of your hairline so that I and other helpful members here could really know what to say to help you.
Also, there is no need to show your face but that is up to you.
You wont be criticized here Chippy.
B231, it would be good for you to do the same.

[Stevedawg18]

I don't even see where you are thinning.

[WHTC Clinic]

Can you post photos of the frontal hairline?
