My Story Including Pics

[FearlessPenguin]

Hey,

I am new to this forum and just wanted to share my story with the rest of you here. I am 20 years old.

I could not tell you exactly when my hair loss started however I can tell you when I first noticed it. At the beginning of June this year I noticed that my hairline had receded slightly on both corners, as you can see from the pics on is higher than the other. of course I instantly flew into a blind panic and convinced myself I would be bald by the end of the week. After calming down slightly I booked an appointment with my GP (seemed a little ironic as I say there discussing my hair loss with a GP with hardly a hair on his head." He was surprisingly sympathetic and after talking it through he suggested minoxidil and also bought up the topic of Finasteride. I walked out of the doctors surgery with my prescription for 5mg Finasteride which was to be cut into quarters and taken each day.

I have now been taking the tablets for 3 weeks today and and hopeful I can keep the hair I have and maybe grow a little of the hair in the hairline (ambitious I realise but I like to be optimistic about these things)

The other day I took delivery of a 6 month supply of Kirkland Minoxidil which I have used now for 2 days and also Nizroal shampoo for clearing the sebum and junk from my scalp.

I will be sure to let you know how I get on in the coming months and wish all those out there battling hair loss the very best of luck with their personal journeys Any advice would be gratefully accepted, maybe hear from some of you who have been in a similar situation and what happened. My crown currently has no issues and thats why I haven't shown any pics.

Despite trying to be as positive as I can I just find my self feeling constantly and unlike an acne breakout or something similar that might make someone feel down this is something that I can only see getting worse and that thought just tears me apart
