Hi All,
Firstly i would like to thank all for participating on this forum. Good on you lads!! First a little introduction. I am 24 years old and have always sported an Afro for 6-8 months of the years before having a haircut. My hair has always been a "little" thin on the top fringe to middle bit. But not too noticeable. Recently on my way to work up the lift i noticed only briefly under a light that i could see my scalp. So i decided to have a little trim to see whats going on. During my haircut, i asked my barber if he noticed any thinning on top. He inspected and replied that my hair was OK and he noticed no thinning. Well i decided to inspect my self and noticed that under a lighti could really see my scalp from the front fringe. I asked several people at work and at home to inspect my scalp. Everybody said i was being overly paranoid. But when i asked the same people to inspect under a bright light. They all agreed that there was some thinnage. My father has absolutly no Thinnage at 58. His blessed with a full Fro!! My uncles on my moms side on the other hand are all have minimal hair left, with hairloss even affecting some of my aunties.
So i decided to take a proactive approach and proceeded to advanced Hair. What a joke!!. I ran into there "Consultant of the year". I left feeling absolutely guttered and crap. I was told that i would loose the majority of my hair in 6-12 months time. That Finastride was dangerous and that 30% of men experience irreversible erectile issues coupled with impotence. He proceeded to tell me that i should use there laser therapy program for $4000 and that the deal ends this Week!!! Never Again. I know a sales man when i see it.
So i marched on to my GP who said there was minor thinnage and prescribed Elocon for use every night. He also ordered a blood test to be done. He asked for my Test, Cortisol and Zinc levels to be tested. My question is from the below images, what Norwood level am i at, and is it a Beginning case that is advacning. Have i cought this out Early..
Thank You
