Is my scalp thinning? Or just natural since hair is thinnish.

[Jacoby77]

The absolute BEST thing for seb derm is nizoral. Once a week is enough.

I have shampoo that keeps it under control.not much change to my year since two years ago, so hopefully I'm OK. Still getting it checked tho. This is so scary lol.

I do think the level of aromatization (which varies heavily) is a factor of which diet people will benefit from. We all know people often get opposite results on diets that are completely the opposite.

Like I said, early stages it's worth it but if there's some significance to it you're going to need something that operates in a more direct pathway. Otherwise nature will just take its course.

Do you think I'm on early stages since I'm hair is relatively thick to run my hands through, do I have at least 3 months before it's gone?

I think you have more time than that. It's very rare for a lot to fall out within a couple of months. Hair loss is typically a process that takes a few years. Some people may go up a norwood every year, or maybe as long as every 5 years if it's not aggressive.

But like Jeju said, you probably want to try some things to get the scalp inflammation under control. Otherwise you will only continue to lose more.

Or you just try finasteride. Why are you personally so against it? Like I said in my case it literally saved my hair and also reversed most of the loss. No sides at all either. But get bloodwork done before that. I mean you can try to fix it with your diet but I have not seen a good study on Male pattern baldness and dieting. Scalp tension can be a minor factor as well but the fact is that DHT is the main cause. I have a good diet, have a very active lifestyle and was still balding.

you can consider dieting and topicals instead. 90% of the people here believe minoxidil/finasteride is the only option.

Diet plays a massive role so if you're prone to scalp tension and DHT diet is really going to affect it. You don't have to use Rogaine.

i'm taking a month break off from dieting & topicals(keto cream 2%, emu oil, etc) but gonna pick it up on march.

This guy didn't have Androgenetic Alopecia, it was clearly AA bald patches. Stop spreading scams here.

Keep coping and finding excuses.

It's the reality. If you think diety only will reverse genetic balding you're dumb.

 

[JaneyElizabeth]

Dermatitis apparently can occur due to the synthesis of DHT in scalp and hair follicles. I had my beard removed but with laser, the beard follicles are more dormant than removed and oral min brought a touch of dermatitis back at 12.5 mg so I have halved that for that reason and increase in other body hair growth. Oral min works great though. Norwoody is a very thoughtful person in both senses of the word and he has a lot of this thought out and organized in his mind.

Your reality yes. Only thing that works in your world is minoxidil and finasteride. Funny enough I used ketoconazole cream in my regime, so I guess that doesn't work. Cope cope cope.

Because the trichologist can see if its balding vs just diet or lack of something. If it's early on she can give me supplements and also reassurance. If it can't be saved her way she said finasteride is the only way, but she said she will look.

If dieting works at all, it is probably because of effects on inflammation but for the vast majority of folks, the diet and exercise thing doesn't work nor does exercise or getting more sleep. This is usually an hormonal route and for the most part, all of the successful treatments are hormonal ones.

You don't know that and you've never tried it yourself.

I have tried it. Virtually everyone tries it at the beginning. I don't discount all connection as the western diet is correlated with hair loss but people are also mixing genes more all over and there's pseudo-estrogens in the water which to me seems a likely place to look as they might crowd out the body's own estrogens from the scalp.

Anyone can say they have tried it and say it didn't work. I tried it but got the diet all wrong in the past with minimal results until I got it properly adjusted. Now I got 90% of my hairline back.

I knew another dude who said they tried it...did it for 2 weeks and then gave up. Then claimed nothing happened when he even admitted growing some baby hairs.

It's a consistent thing.

Just because you ate fish with eggs and spinach doesn't mean it's going to be enough. Also, what did you even eat?

I began jogging three times a week, weightlifting and karate. I stuck to a vegetarian diet for a year. Every situation is different and your weigh probably works for some folks but most folks on tressless do something similar. They get biotin and B-vitamins and they add niacin. This is all from the Pearsons' book. Nothing worked for me except as maintenance until I started HRT and then switched to oral min.

My world? No. Medical world.

If you used keto and it worked is because your baldness was caused by fungus, not genetic.

Well she can see if it's balding or diet or what it is caused by, and apparently can tell me if she can help with supplements, derma rollers, shampoos, other crazy sh*t that idk what they use. But if not I'm hoping on finasteride.

I just hope my hair will last a year before it's thinned completely.

It could be stress related thinning. Trichologist will tell me.
