Do I Have Alopecia?
Monday, October 19th, 2009Now, firstly It is a fact that I am going bald. So yes, I have a form of Alopecia. But what I want to know is; is it just male pattern baldness or is it another form of alopecia?
I am a 22 year old male and my hair has been thinning for about a year at the front of my head. It isn’t a receding hairline as it’s not at the temples.
I have been taking propecia for 3 weeks now and as can be expected I have experienced ‘shedding’, which is a speeding up of hairloss. this all points to it being MBP as propecia would simply do nothing if it wasn’t MPB, right?
The problem is, that the hair from the rest of my head seems to come out too. It doesn’t look any thinner but when I have a shower more seems to be coming out than before. Am I being paranoid?
Family history;
As far as I know my family has no history of any other form of alopecia other than MPB which my uncle has, my thinning seems to be in the same area as his too.
Thank you in Advance.
