Hair Issues - Male Pattern Baldness?
Posted: Wed May 27, 2020 7:28 pm
Good Afternoon,
Thank you in advance for reading my post.
I turned 26 about 3 months ago. I always had a good head of hair until about 2 years ago when it started thinning and receding at the temples. Before this, whenever I let it grow a bit, my hairdresser used to thin it to prevent it from making my head warm.
The thinning has come to a stage where I can see my scalp under the hair when looking in the mirror, which wasn't the case before. I assumed this was natural and part of male pattern baldness and have not paid a lot of attention to it, however I did try medicated shampoos and also hair tablets (with Biotin, iron etc.). Nothing has made any difference.
I occasionally shave my head. I did so recently and it has now been 12 days since I did it which has allowed some new hair to grow. I noticed that it is growing irregularly and leaving some bits (especially on the back and top of the head) looking thinner and balder than other bits, which again I suppose could be male pattern baldness. I can also see, however, that there are some small "holes" in the back which don't seem to have any hair at all. It looks as if I have cracked my head (which I haven't) and that there is no hair growing in the cracked bit
My question is - is this all normal? If not, is it some condition and what can I do to improve it?
Thank you for your help.
P.S.: I have been diagnosed with seborrhoeic dermatitis before. I haven't had any serious health conditions and haven't taken any medication that would have anything like this as its side effects.
