Newbie here, I'm only 20 and looking for some answers why my hair is falling out. I have a diffuse thinning pattern, probably nw3 comparing myself to the chart. I'm the youngest of 3 brothers who are aged 22 and 27, my parents are 50 and my grandparents are in their 80's. I'm the only one who has hair loss, all the rest a decent hair, at the rate I'm going I'll have less hair than my grandfathers. The thought of all my hair falling out is freaking me out, I'm becoming distant from my friends, I split with my girlfriend, I don't want to socialise any more. My family tell me not to worry, it's easy for them with no issues, they don't know what I'm going through. The low self esteem, anxiety, depression and feeling inadequate. I hide these feelings from them because I don't want them to worry, although they do comment about not socialising much.
I'm fit, healthy, eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly at home and have no medical issues.
I honestly can't see myself leading a normal life as a bald guy. I've read about family genes causing hair loss, but my family have no history of hair loss. It seems so unfair.
Apart from Androgenic Alopecia - Male Pattern Balldness; Is there anything else that could be causing my hair loss?
Treatments; I'm not sure if I want to take Finasteride. Post Finasteride Syndrome sounds harsh and sometimes irreversible if you are subject to sides. Topical Minoxidil based solutions seem to be the best option, but how effective are they own their own? I really need to stop the rest of my hair falling out and maybe, grow some back.
Are there any guys in the same situation as myself who can offer some advice on how they successfully treated their hair loss?
I really need your help guys.
