I'm 19 and I guess I'm a norwood 1, thinning all over. I noticed a minute bald spot on the front of my head when I was 16. I grew my hair out and I buzzed it short when I hit 19 because a few people were passing comments about how light the hair on the top of my head was becoming compared to the sides. I become quite insecure over it. My hairline has receded I reckon half an inch in the last year, I can tell as I used to have a freckle on my scalp but the freckle is now on my forehead.
In February 2004 I started to use minoxidl 5% twice a day, then I added nizoral in June 2004. Now I've assessed my progress between feb04 and sep04 and my hair has neither improved nor gotten worse. Its still crap - for a 19 year old at least. Three weeks ago, I started taking proscar 1mg a day. Side effects I've experienced so far; watery semen, slightly increased sex drive, a small shed on my front hairline and diarrhoea every few days - seriously, very unusual for me as I eat well and never get diarrhoea so I don't know whether to contribute this to the finasteride or not?
I had a terrible time last year with my hairloss, I was 18 and losing my hair and I became incredibly self-conscious and started to make up excuses not to go out. My first year in college suffered because of it as I felt quite depressed at times - I never sought help but I feel as if I've come to terms with it now so am slightly more confident. From being so confident around girls before, because of my hairloss I feel awkward as I don't know any other 19 year olds losing there hair, I feel as if I'm at a disadvantage with women, so much so that I haven't got anywhere with a girl in 7 months. A vast contrast to the times of when I had hair.
That’s my story
