My diffuse thinning started when I was 15 and a freshman in high school. I started getting comments from people that my hair was looking thin. I started looking at it and I noticed that I had diffuse thinning all over the top of my head.
I went to a dermatologist and after looking at my hair he said that I probably had male pattern baldness. At 15 this seemed impossible. My father and grandfather and uncle on my Dad's side all have extremly thick heads of hair. On my mothers side my two Uncle are thinning but one is 30 and barely has lost any hair. The other is about 40 and only has a small bald spot and sme resession. Niether started balding before they were 25. My grandpa on my mother's side is completely bald but he is over 85 years old.
Since it seemed wierd to have MPD at 15, and because I only had diffuse thinning and no recession of my hairline my doctor did a biopsy. 3 weeks later I got the news that the biopsy said I dont have MPD.
I now started looking for all other casues of my hairloss. I had blood drawn multiple times and everything came back normal. I am in shape and have no other major problems. I had no tragic events recently. I had been taking mynocycline for acne, but I stoped soon after becasue I feared this was causing my hairloss.
During this summer my hair got noticably worse. My hairline remained completly normal, but my hair thinned everywhere. You could notice a very thin area at my crown where I parted my hair. This summer I became very depressed becuase I had no idea what was causing my hairloss.
Around when school started my hair stopped getting noticable worse. It has basically remained the same since then. I have been using dermatch since then on my crown and it works very well.
I am now 17 and I am starting to think that even though the biopsy that I had, says I don't have MPD, that I really do. I have not noticed my hair getting worse, but I am afriad that it is very slowly getting worse.
Today I started using Rogain 5%. I plan to start taking multivitmin, and buy some Nizoral Shampoo to use twice a week. I also want to try Tricomin Follicle Spray. I am going to plan another trip to my doctor to see if I can get on propecia. Ill turn 18 in a week.
