I am one of those very unlucky guys who started balding early in their life (18 for me).
I made a post back when I started using minoxidil in 2014 :https://www.baldtruthtalk.com/thread...o-far?p=197083
I guess I was also one of those unlucky guys for whom Minox didn't reverse hairfall (even though i started using it early).Now about 2 and a half years later, my temples and hair density are way worse. I don't comb my hair straight up to avoid people noticing my thin hair. Even my hairline is receding. I still use Minoxidil (5%) and Ketoconazole(2%) but the DHT effects are getting stronger.
Recently I've started thinking even more about my hairloss, and I've started noticing how most people my age and even those who're way older have full heads of hair and no hair-related problems to worry about. I've even gotten puffiness under my eyes which I highly suspect is either due to minox or keto (any ideas).
All this has made me extremely depressed. I don't talk to people as much, don't enjoy activities and don't want to go to social gatherings. My confidence is going down.
I'm going to get my hair cut short today and see how that looks. If it makes me look even worse, I can wear a woolen hat for the rest of winter.
I'm considering Hair transplant next year, and since i live in India, thankfully it is relatively cheaper here.
