Hi All,

I am 26 years old and I would need some advice from the forum members. I will list my condition and symptoms and any guidance would be really great.


  1. I notice a lot of hair when I shampoo.Curiously I have never seen this happen when i was 18,19 or 24 yrs old. This questions the 'losing 100 hairs everyday is common' theory/myth. Is this a sign of impending hairloss? Or is it really common to lose 100 hairs everyday while we shampoo or comb or just tug your hair??.How come we don't notice notice this when we are younger?
  2. When I just ruffle or run my fingers through my head or when I keep a white towel underneath my head and just ruffle or tug my hair I am able to see around 30-40 strands of hair easily.This has caused me great trauma. Some of the hair strands have thick sticky sheath covering the root. The hair strands are both short as well as fully grown longer ones.
  3. I did check with a dermatologist, who just looked at my hair line and said everything is fine. I somehow suspect that despite me telling the above symptoms. I am currently in the lookout for another dermatologist.

I sincerely hope that this post is not made fun of, as this is quite a sensitive issue which is causing me a slow death. Any advice would be appreciated

99% sure you have male pattern baldness. If your derm can't identify it visually, then you must be in early stages obviously. For early stages like this all you need is likely finasteride 1mg or 1.25mg daily

Oh god I am doomed then!!! Can I get this over the counter or do I need a prescription??

you need a script to get it at a pharmacy (maybe not though in your country) or you can just get it online without a prescription
