16 Years Old And Losing Hair. Balding Sucks.

[tiny7]

Lol yeah it takes a cc but if you got money just go to Walmart and buy a money pack card/order online. As far as the hair line you can see at the very base of it where it is going bald(like a mouse eating a piece of cheese)... if you look up in the vertex I can see very small parts of the scalp even with your hair combed back. Don't be in denial you are part of the bald club. It looks more or less the same. I pray you will just get you some meds and move on... you have caught it extremely early. Good-night man - it is not the end of the world you can stop if it you choose to ; but honestly being bald isn't that big of a deal. Second opinions are welcome but this is a pretty open-shut case.

@tiny7 the money pack your talking about at walmart I can use that as way to order stuff like proscar online??? If so I'm saved. Sorry I keep bothering you I just need wisdom man I'm only a teenager

 

[tiny7]

yes you can buy pre-paid cards at Wal-Mart to order online. I am not promoting to got out and do it... I am just saying it is possible. I'd recommend getting a second opinion and to see if you able to take propecia/finasteride/dutasteride... etc. Maybe just do over the counter until you are of age... I am no way promoting that you do this without proper approval... lol. Your hairloss exists... but it is to the point where you can afford to wait until you are 18. Just wait it out... at 18 get on propecia. Maybe try some min/keto herbal stuff...

@tiny7 last question and this case is closed do you have to be over the age of 18 to get one of these prepaid credit cards like master card etc etc you can't be talking bout a gift card ?

Damn, sorry about your dude. Your young so hopefully the cure will be around the corner for medical science. Until then, finasteride and dutasteride work well but you should wait till your a little further out of puberty.

Also as others have said, TAKE IT EASY ON THE KETO! Too much could contribute to your hair loss. Someone else posted a thread awhile ago who said they Keto'd everday and it made them lose hair way faster. It's good but dont over do it!

Best of luck

@IamZhea I'm no MD but I'm for surly in the 4th grade I started to grow a mustache I hit pururty at I would say 12 I started getting hairy asf do you think if I waited till I'm 17teen that would he better ? I'm just scared of loosing to much ground bc I just turned 16 two months ago . thanks for your reply !

please do way more research before considering finasteride. "sides are non existent" - this is complete BS and every one here knows it. Read through these forums. The MAJORITY of people who use finasteride on here experience sides. Whether it turns your semen into water, f*cks your mind up, alters your testosterone, makes all your hair fall out, gives you weak erections, etc... these are ALL side effects. I am not trying to sugar coat it either. finasteride is a good drug... IF it works. finasteride failed for me horrendously, and you may think I am biased by these comments. But, they are based on reading thousands of encounters with finasteride, and real life experiences with, not only myself, but with several friends of mine as well. be careful dude.

 

[needwisdom101]

@k9gatton you do realize I'm in the 11 grade starting Aug 12, 2016 . girls at my school dig my hair bro hair loss at my age isn't cooland right now its not bad but i know it will get worse I have to try something to make this stop desperate Im already wasted 40$ on hair0mega 3&1 scam bs pills anything herbal" won't do sh*t to stop hair loss so herbal sh*t like saw pAWMETTTO ARE GARBAGE

 

[needwisdom101]

@k9gatton if you don't mind me asking I read what you do for hair loss and the I saw you using 30% minoxidil? Where the hell can I get some of that sh*t bro ?

 

[buckthorn]

@k9gatton if you don't mind me asking I read what you do for hair loss and the I saw you using 30% minoxidil? Where the hell can I get some of that sh*t bro ?

see? this is what happens and this is very dangerous. WHY do you want 30% minoxidil? because you assume a higher concentration is going to work better? I am telling you now man, please slow your mind down, or you're going to regret it.

 

[needwisdom101]

@buckthorn I respect you man I know you have a lot of experience probably a lot more than I do but how would 30% MINIX not work better how could it harm me? ? And from what I see on this site all derma"s are clueless as sh*t. But I did is I took a ton of pics to show my derm so I could make sure her monkey *** is convinced and bc my parents won't believe I have hair loss unless a derm says yep your son has Androgenetic Alopecia

 

[Wowjpk]

By the time I was 16 my hairline was worse than that lmao. I'm 17 now and have been using minoxidil for close to a year.. Haven't seen much gains from that but Vellus hairs. I didn't lose either though whic is good. 2.5 months ago I made the decision to get finasteride and I already see promising results. Though my hairline isn't fully correcting it looks much better and looks as if there is Vellus hairs completely filling the nw1 hairline. I'm hoping at the 6 month mark I will truly see if this comes true or now but it promising as of now.

At this point I've kinda accepted whatever happens, happens. Finasteride is probably the most extreme I'll go into keeping my hair besides maybe dutasteride and so if it doesn't do it then whatever I tried what I thought was best which gives me ease of mind.

 

[needwisdom101]

@Wowjpk I'm glad I'm not the only teen guy to bald this early! And I'm got those littel velus hairs all along my hairline to and my shedding is way less when I use keto 2% with MINIX 5% and the derma roller . ill run my hands threw hair over the bathtub . and I'd say I'll lose maybey 5 to 8 hairs which isn't bad but not good either. I just turned 16 two months ago do you think I could matain enough hair till I'm 17 and then hope on finasteride pls reply!!

 

[PappinAce]

Holy sh*t dude...I just saw your hairline pic and all I can say is, IMHO, you do NOT have hair loss. This might be all in your head. You have a normal hairline and lots of density. What does the back of your head look like?

In all probability, you're fine. I might suggest closing this account, never coming here again, and never thinking about hair loss again

 

[needwisdom101]

@PappinAce I would love to believe that so much man but those pics arernt really to good you should see my hair wet or when I tried to comb it back while its dry with no MINIX in it I look like a nw2 or 3. But with the MINiX in my hair it maks me look like maybey a nw1.5 it doess thicken my hair up pretty good

 

[needwisdom101]

@k9gatton you say minoxidil 2% saved your hair maybe its bc you was balding at snails pastee very very slow when you started to bald was it agressive?? . Lots of guys tell me if you start balding in your teens you probably have aggressive Androgenetic Alopecia

 

[needwisdom101]

@k9gatton you say minoxidil 2% saved your hair maybe its bc you was balding at snails pastee very very slow when you started to bald was it agressive?? . Lots of guys tell me if you start balding in your teens you probably have aggressive Androgenetic Alopecia. Bc minoxidil doesnt inhibit dht so how could I matain anything without finasteride blocking the dht productuon

 

[needwisdom101]

Thus is my crown area right now it looks really decent bc I have minoxidil 5% On it . but at tines it looks like my hair part seems to get bigger and bigger

 

[needwisdom101]

@k9gatton since I'm out of school I'm using the liquid version of minoxidil and I apply it 4 timee day to make sure I have good result. But once school start I'm probably gonna start on the foam bc it drys quicker doyou know anywhere where I can get it cheap ?.

 

[davesmith420]

Your vertex looks fine. IMO you're not balding, I think you should just keep taking pictures and monitoring it in the meantime.
