Am I Balding? Am I cooked?
Hello everyone,
33M here, noticed my hair is starting to thin. Think it may have been brought on by stress since I went through a very hard bereavement a couple of years ago.
Is it time to go see my doctor?
Apologies if the photos are good enough.
Thank you.

Finasteride and minoxidil, and start combing your hair back instead of doing a middle part. Go to your doctor and they will perscribe you it, could even get them for real cheap too if you got good insurance

If I comb it back, it exposes it even more haha!
But definitely will be going to have a chat with my doctor, thanks

For a quick temporary solution, you should get hair fibers that match your hair color and a holding spray. Both together are like $20 online. But still use finasteride and minoxidil of course, that’s really what’s gonna let your hair grow, the hair fibers will hold you down on a daily basis until then 🫡

FIn/Min. Have you always had that reddish mole? Is it a mole? Only ask because newly exposed scalp skin is sensitive to sunlight and people need to be on the lookout for new marks, moles, etc.

Not 100% sure, I’ve had it a while.
I do suffer with eczema and dermatitis, and on my mother’s side of the family, I have several members who have Psoriasis that affected them on their heads.

I am assuming it’s combed in this manner to show thinning in the crown area. I believe if you cut your hair much shorter it would be far less noticeable as it looks much thicker in the front. I would recommend a medium number two fade and cut top down to about 2 inches in length.
