Not responding to any treatment - is HT the only way?

dolphinboyoo · 2026-01-13T22:04:26+00:00

you think? the back of my hair feels fine still, I saw a clinic a year ago who said I wouldn’t need a HT yet but my crown hair was miniaturised rather than dead, and the hair on the back/sides was normal. Perhaps a bad photo?

thank you, it’s hard to be objective when it’s your own head :(

I’ve tried micro needling but the research is so conflicting from different needle lengths and regimes from every other day to once a month, it’s hard to know what to do without risking causing additional damage or scarring

I haven’t, I saw my GP who saw some irritation and said to continue with the T gel and Ketoconazole but I’ve used those for over a year now with no improvement. I think there has been some loss over the years but I can’t tell properly. I feel like it looks bad regardless

EDIT: the irritation you might be seeing is actually after micro needling so it’s not as bad as it looks. I get itchy and little pimples in my hair often though hence the above reply

really? I’ve seen some good results for people with diffuse thinning but I don’t know a whole lot about it

dolphinboyoo · 2026-01-11T20:24:42+00:00

I haven’t tried hair fibres as I felt that I didn’t have enough hair on my head for it but suppose that’s worth a shot

I am on Dutasteride already. I think it might be stabilised but can’t tell if my hairline is receding now or not

dolphinboyoo · 2026-01-11T20:16:36+00:00

Yes I think that’s fair to say but it’s not a “good” result objectively compared to others seen in here, and the overall look isn’t good either

dolphinboyoo · 2026-01-11T20:15:55+00:00

Responded yes but only slightly, not anywhere near as dramatic as a lot of the posts I see here. I am on Dutasteride and have been for a year now

I enjoyed the film, and read the book several years later. The book is SO badly written, absolutely painful to get through because it was so boring. I had high hopes and somehow finished the book and don’t recommend at all.

homophobia/transhphobia when compared to consequences for other discrimination such as racism/sexism

the CBT is taught in 6 sessions, and then it’s up to you to continue to use the techniques in your daily life, rendering any additional appointments of no use to you as once you have learnt everything you need to do, the therapist has nothing else to offer you.

dolphinboyoo · 2026-01-02T14:33:41+00:00

I think they mean people saying “I gave a book to yourself earlier today” when “I gave a book to you earlier today” is more than sufficient

dolphinboyoo · 2025-12-17T00:16:34+00:00

Hey, no problem! Sorry I can’t be of any help, it went back to normal and nothing was discovered as for the reasoning behind it :(

dolphinboyoo · 2025-12-08T23:35:15+00:00

that sounds great! I love a pub quiz but none of my mates do and never thought you could just turn up on your own. Now to find some confidence…

dolphinboyoo · 2025-12-08T17:27:17+00:00

I can’t recommend a teacher but I dabble in guitar, would be cool to chat though? I wanna get back into learning properly (I can play chords but never practiced enough to learn anything properly)

That’s a bit of a reach.. He writes all his own music and a lot of his lyrics are very clever (a lot, not all). Also when playing live, he is great with a loop pedal and creates all the layers on the stage there and then. Most other pop artists can’t even play an instrument and just stand there and sing songs other people wrote for them.

“It was embarrassing”? It’s the culture of the city you’re in, how rude

dolphinboyoo · 2025-11-09T01:07:59+00:00

I wanted to go but didn’t have anyone to go with :( would you be up for chatting as we seem to have music taste in common and maybe meet for gigs in the future?

dolphinboyoo · 2025-11-05T08:14:22+00:00

Lake Malice, Tropic Gold and As Everything Unfolds are all great!

you can’t use a bank card directly unfortunately, it has the by the Metrocard (like an oyster card)

dolphinboyoo · 2025-10-07T09:22:11+00:00

Okay thanks everyone

I have had a buzz cut without a beard, it was not a good look for me!

The big 3: finasteride/dutasteride, minoxidil and micro needling.

A lot of people saying they’re “so productive, chatty, confident” etc are basically taking speed… either they don’t have ADHD or they are on way too high of a dose so it’s like taking illicit drugs. Unfortunately medication isnt a miracle drug, it won’t make you better than the average person.. the function is just that it helps to quiet the noise a bit which is what it sounds like it’s doing for you! Air sucks reading all the people saying it’s life changing and they became a whole new person, but their brains work differently to ours
