Hi everybody, i've been losing my hair in a strange pattern since i was 18 and have been trying out all kinds of different treatments:
Propecia - quit about 3 months ago because i didn't feel it really doing anything for me and I also got horrible sides from it (Some that im still dealing with today)
Ketoconazol - Still with me today and i think i might keep using it even tho i really can't tell if it's doing anything too.
Rogaine - Actually this got most of my hair back and I was really happy, that was until i got some horrible dark circles around my eyes and wrinkles too! :doh:
So i decided to quit that aswell, now fortunatly my dark circles are gone and the wrinkles that i got from it have faded and you can barley notice, the downside is that i went through the terrible FAMOUS shed.
I have also tried tons of vitamins and are still taking some as im following a Guide on another website on how to grow back your hair with cutting out certain ingridients from your diet and adding vitamins.
Now to the question, i've been at several dermatologists to get my hairloss sorted out and to find an answer if it's really male pattern baldness and the answer has always been that it is male pattern baldness the dermatologists never took any sample of my hair or scalp ( Whatever it is you do when u investigate this kind of thing).
But i don't know, As I said in the title i'm a diffuse thinner and in the beggining of my hairloss it actually looked exactly the same as in this picture:

And i'm now beginning to wonder if it really is male pattern baldness or something else because also 2 years back when I was out of a job, living with my parents, going to the gym and relaxing the rest of the time I believed my hair grew back, a really big amout, it was like a dream come true.
Then later on I got a new job and moved out and into my own appartment, i started smoking too and guess what.
My hair began to fall out again and to a point where it was really noticable and i couldnt hide it anymore (That's when i started with rogaine and propecia)
And today my hair looks worse than ever before.
But the thing is now i've noticed that if i just let my hair grow long the hairfollicles aren't like vellus hair, they feel like terminal hair and they keep growing if i let them.
I don't have a receding hairline, my hairline is perfectly fine but it's just like a forest where every 3rd or 4rth tree has been cut down.
I've always been a stressful, REALLY sensitive person and when people critizise me i get really sad but i don't show it. Why im like this is because i have ADD, and i've sunken into depressions several times.
What are you guys take on this?, do you think this is male pattern baldness or something else?.
Here is several pictures of how my hair looks now, with and without flashlight.
Sorry for my bad english, im from sweden so this isn't my native languague.
