Wondering about my baldness after 19 years receding

I've read around a bit on diffuse thinning, I never heard of it before but it seems like it's same as MPB, just a more sporadic random balding, so I dont think any meds will help.

Yes they help keep your remaining hair.

Hi Dodgerm6.

Your hairloss has progressed quite a bit,it looks like you will be around a Norwood 6 looking at your picture.

It is a good idea to try the meds to see if you regrow some hair or simply retain what you have left.

If you could post a picture once your hair has grown a little that would be great.

Alternatively if you are happy with the shaved look,keep shaving it off and don't go down the transplant route as it may be a lifelong commitment.

Norwood 6?? No way man, I have hair on top, albeit thinning. Heres a new pic, about just over a week growth.

Thats a better picture,although you have still lost quite a bit and may progress to a higher level unless the meds put a stop to it.

Note that I started receding at 15 years old, I'm 34 now so this is a 19 year progression, you really think these meds could work for me? How about regrowing lost hair back?

I would say bordering on Norwood 5.

Make sure you try meds first.

Hi Dodger. If you still visit the forum could you post an update on what you decided?
