hi guys!
ive been reading on this forum for a while now, and yesterday i finially decided to join. there are some very inteligent and nice people on this forum that really try to help others out, and thats the main reason i decided to post.
About me:
Im 20 years old (about to be 21 in march). everyone in my family is bald, in dad and mom side other than my father. my hair is thick like his, but not curly. no one else in the family has thick hair but him. all my uncles from both side, and both grandpa's so ever since ive been young ive been teased by the jokes hehe :$ . hairloss is something that happens to alot of guys, and honestly i dont think its going to change my life drastically, but who wouldnt like to keep their hair on their head? hehe
I suffer from a mental disease called Trichotillomania. for those of you who dont know, i basically always pull my hair out. when i was younger, my head was the only place that had hair, so i always pulled atleast 30-40 hairs a day. leaving me with a terrible looking vortex ever since ive been 10 years old. this habit had left me with alot less hair than i ever would have had without it. my mom always told me that this hair will never grow back, i wish i listened to her
But about two years ago, my mother finally actually told me it looks like im loosing hair on the back of my head, i looked at my head, and it looked like the usual thing (less hair than normal) so i didnt worry about it much.i didnt care about it much and just lived my life. but as time went on, i realized that when i pull the hair out of my vortex without much effort, they come out easily. They also seemed to look much thinner than the rest of the hairs on my head. time went by and this issue was stuck on my head the whole time. its like it wouldnt go away. i couldnt do much about my disease so i just started not touching my head and pulling hair out of my arms and legs! gross rightuke: i know, and now i have a baldspot on my leg.
so finally couple of weeks ago, i decided to figure out if im loosing my hair or not, so started taking pictures and comparing them to older pictures, but honestly i cant figure out. i know for a fact that i have less hair density in the MBP spot. my sides and back have way more hair, but its kinda always beem that way. what i came up to is that i am slowly entering the MBP and i better start now or it will be too late. here are some pics for you guys to judge upon.
those are the only pics i have for comparison sorry, and here are som epics from 10 mins ago with me and shaved head
and the vortex:
and here is a pic from the back of my head so you guys know hwo much hair i should have lol
the reason i even posted is because i put a ton of conditioner on my head the other day and it made my hair really thin and i got scared and shaved my head. i loose about 60 hairs a day. no major crazy shedding. im super athletic (running, soccer, mountain bike, lifting ,snowboarding). my templates are the same size they have always been (yep they always looked that crazy just like my dads) and the only thing scaring me is the vortex. i still have very thick hair on my head although not as many on top as the back. when i shaved my head with the same grade all over, i could clearly see the scalp on top, but not on the sides, so i had to cut the sides lower.
after reading alot here i decided i wanted to try Proscar and Rogaine foam. im going to see the doctor on wednesday and here are some questions i have:
1- would he be able to tell me if i have male pattern baldness?
2- would using these products actually end up hurting me if i dont have male pattern baldness?
sorry for the long story, and thanks in dvance for all of your inputs unk:
