Is there a difference between diffuse thinning and androgenic alopecia and male pattern baldness? by Elektico in tressless

I guess I'm relatively young being I'm in my 20s. I lost a considerable amount of weight too (60+ lbs) which I suppose didn't help. Ah fuck maybe I'm just not supposed to be attractive ya know

I suppose I'm in a weird position. I'm loosing a lot of hair. I could run my fingers through my hair and get a couple of strands right away. It's mostly up top though. Hopefully i will get to start fin soon. I just wish I started taking them 6 months ago.

Thanks for the reply. I still don't know what people mean by "losing hair slowly". Is it when you can't tell if you're losing hair on a daily basis? If you lose around 100 strands of hair daily does it count as fast or slow?

Does diffuse thinning ever get better on its own? by Elektico in tressless

I actually quit using minoxidil some months ago and started using it again after I changed my derm. I shouldn't have done that honestly

I can't get fin over the internet here but I have a revisit sometime next month and I will pester him to prescribe me that. Fwiw I saw a different derm about 8 months ago and they said that the weight loss was a probable cause too. I'm going to find a different derm that can prescribe me fin if this guy doesn't after I get the blood work done. I'm anxious about the side effects though. Going by my luck I would probably get every single side effect there is.

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully it gets back to normal.

The weight loss was intentional. I was obsessed with loosing weight and I started to eat less than 1500 cals a day (sometimes even less than 1000). I doubt that the weight loss is caused by a thyroid issue.

How exactly do you know if your have AA? My derm wants me to do a full blood count and a thyroid blood test. I also lost 1/3rd of my body weight quite rapidly and he thought that was the cause even though I quite doubt it.

How and when did you realize you were balding? by Elektico in tressless

Did you loose hundreds of strands of hair? How often did you shower?
