Hello All,

I am a 24 year old male, and Ive been searching through these forms for about 6 months trying to find some helpful answers. I finally got up the courage this past week and decided to make my own account.

Baldness runs in my family, my father as it, as does my grand father. Nothing on my mothers side, that I can notice anyhow. I had the thickest most full hair growing up, but within the past year or two I have noticed serious thinning, starting at the top of my skull and running in a straight line to the front of my forehead. Here is a picture:

Its starting to become extremely noticeable. So far, I've been taking bioxin, vitamin E, and a multivitamin every day. I use the volume conditioners and shampoos - but they only mildly help out, at best.

I've read alot about getting a blood test to see if I am missing a key vitamin in my body, to only washing your hair once every three days. What exactly should I be doing?

Im considering trying rogane, but I am not sure since I only have thin hair, and not balding yet. Well maybe alittle bit on top. Should I see a "hair doctor"? Do any of you have any advice. Im really starting to go nuts with all this hair thinning.

I appreciate any help anyone wants to offer. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and hopefully supply some helpful information.

I've been reading that Minoxidil 5% + MPG and Propecia works pretty good... just not sure if its for people with thinning hair like myself.

From everything I have read, the longer you wait to start treatment the more difficult it is to get back the hair you have lost. If you want to stop your hair loss you need to do take some kind of action. At least start using some kind of topical treatment, whether it is minoxidil or an alternative treatment...do your research and decide on something and use it. Else you will be bald and then it will be really hard to get any hair to regrow. Either that or shave your head and get on with your life! O:) Be glad you are a guy and baldness is a real option...no one will think you are sick or look like a freak. There are a lot of bald guys out there that are happy to just stop dealing with hair stuff and concentrate on other things.

Good luck with whatever you decide, but just remember that doing nothing is also a choice!
