Im 21 years old and i just got the results of my 2nd scalp biopsy.. My first one back in march revealed that my hair loss was due to DERMOTOPHYTES (fungus) of which i went on lamisil for 3 weeks. My hair loss has continued with a general thinning around my whole scalp, not any of the norwood or other models. My 2nd biopsy came back and showed no fungus and just simply read, " Nonscarring alopecia consitent with androgenic alopecia, Microscopic analysis shows terminal hair follicles are decreased in size and number".
My question is this analysis concrete that i have male pattern baldness. I have no genetic history and i was previously under the impression that the fungus was the cause of this. Could a fungus 6 months ago have this effect or is this now definitively male pattern baldness. Im havin a hard time believing it because of the 1st biopsy results, my family history as well as i took accutane for 2 weeks 1 year ago. In one year i lost about half of my hair i keep reading that male pattern baldness takes time to onset. Are there any other tests i can get ran,, Like some kind of Testosterone levels or anything.
