Well, My story won't be astronomically different from others. I've been reading this forum for a while and decided to post my story in hope of mental support and maybe help. I am a 20 year old russian guy and I've always had an amazing full head of hair so I never thought I will end up here. But after my trip to Thailand last august people started commenting that I am losing my hair. I didn't belive it at first. Losing hair was the last thing I predicted for myself especialy at such a young age. I always weared it very long since I was and still into metal music/nature. I was even voted "best hair" during highschool, yeah even girls were jealous. My maternal grandfather died recently in his late 60's and he still had full head of hair, my faternal granpa is over 70 and he still haven't lost a single hair. My father on the other side is buzzing his hair to 0 since his mid 20's beacuse he has thin and greasy hair like his mother but he is 38 and he still has a somehow visible NW2.5 hairline.
I don't have any recession, but I've always had a very high hairline and a big forehead. I am now diffused in a NW3-4 horseshoe pattern. Nor using any tratments right now, but thinking about taking finasteride since it seems to be the only stuff that works a little. I have a very serious case of BDD and I can't imagine living without my hair, it means so much to me. I feel like a crippled person right now. Please help me with some practical advice. I will upload pictures someday.
