Miss-placed crown...

[Suddendeath]

Hi,
not really sure where to start as this has been so sudden and so many potential treatments seems to be a flat out scam. I've also been thoroughly turned off by the Belgravia clinic in London.

Having filled out their online assessment but not provided any photographs they have in the space of 48 hours sent 6 emails, made 5 phone calls and provided a diagnosis that does not at all match what I see in the mirror... Their emails are also very keen for me to immediately cough up £1200.00 for my first 6 months treatment... Conclusion: money grabbing individuals of questionable paternal origin...

About a week ago my partner mentioned she thought I was thinning on top, so I grabbed a mirror to take a look, as this can only be seen from directly above I had no idea it was this bad, nor do I know exactly when this began.

Aside from suffering from severe insomnia for a period of about 4 months last year my general health is of no real concern, not am I on any medication. My diet is fairly balanced - typical Mediterranean for the most part. I rarely drink, do not smoke and my sugar intake is negligible.

My father is bald however he began loosing his hair at 18 and was totally bald by 24, I am now approaching 32 so thought I'd missed his genes until now.

Apologies for low quality images to follow - taking a shot of the top of my own head is harder than I expected... I'm only particularly concerned with the larger bald patch as the smaller one has always been there. I'd also like to point out that I have a double crown.

I'd really appreciate any advice anyone might have on where to turn next.

On a final note I'm actually surprisingly calm about the whole thing, not panicking but at the same time I would rather keep my hair if I can...
