turns out i am going BALD !....how long do i have

[phoenixbass]

when i wash my hair my hands fill with hair....dont think that is normal. !

dam, i am going bald, but the thing is i am only 21 years old. how long does it take to go bald ?

[skahound]

It varies. Good luck, my process has been ongoing for about a year now. Just receding. Good friend of mine, the same age, is almost completely bald; just has a ring of hair around his head (the dome is bald) so he shaves it and just goes cueball. I was on Propecia for a while but was told by a friend that it doesn't help thinning up front. Not sure if it's true, but it is a very expensive medicine.

They never had any interest in me to begin with...but I think it had to do with the fact that I wear lady's lingerie.

I am receeding as well. The ladies lingerie does attract women, you just have not found the right guy.....er....ahhhh...woman, I mean woman.

As for you Pheonix, my brother in law started losing his hair when he was 18. He is now 26 and still has some left, and right but not much on top.

who fucking cares?

I can tell you that I do. This is a major issue for any guy. It's been proven that a man's hair is a source of ego and in many instances an indication of power/control. So when one begins to notice a loss of hair it can be a very traumatic experience. In my case it's been very tough to deal with and it's not even noticable to anyone but me! The fact that I know that I've lost a very small amount of hair caused me to immediately run to my doctor and pay almost $60 per month for a pill that may not even work. Have some respect for the dude.

It is the sad facts of life. You get old, fat and bald. Sad part of being a guy. But it could be worse.

I use Finesteride.

Finesteride (marketed as Propecia)
This is a treatment for male pattern baldness which is licenced in the UK but only on private prescription, not on the NHS. It is one of a class of drugs called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Since 5-alpha-reductase is the enzyme which causes the conversion of testosterone into DHT, inhibiting this with finesteride should, in theory, stop hair loss. In fact, finesteride was originally developed for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland becomes enlarged through the action of DHT.

Good luck with whatever treatment you chose :wink:
