im 20, with a severe receding hairline. What do I do?

Question

I'm 20 and I have a bad receding hairline. Rogaine only works on the crown, it doesn't work on frontal hairloss. I have used shampoos since I was 18. My doctor won't give me propecia because he says it will mess with my ability to get an erection. I exercise regularly and do not use hair gel or wax. I might have elevated levels of testosterone but, I am not willing to take estrogen to combat the effect. Is there anything else besides surgery that would help me?

I say, go with it-- shave your head to hide the hairline! If anyone teases you, just remind them that you are raging with testosterone-- whats their excuse? You would not believe how many women think a balding guy is HOT! HOWEVER, what matters is what you think of your appearance so if surgery is the only answer then I stand behind that idea as well. All drugs have side effects and can be harsh on the body so contact a hair specialist and start getting quotes. Just realize that you can either embrace this as just a small part of who you are--and believe me--if thats your biggest problem your doing good-OR- you can obsess and ruin your day! Go with it, be proud!! My best to you!! OH, it may help you to also google up some pics of celebs who are bald and see how they are wearing their do, depending on what you look like may give you some idea of how to present your sexy balding head. Seriously, embrace this don't let it ruin your days!

Hey go with it, you save on shampoo, can't be blamed for hair in the food, not mine. As one other said look it up many have hair loss. It is in the jeans some place along the line even your folks might have forgotten who in the past had hair loss, and no wearing a hat does not increase it or decrease it. I have had two frontal lobe brain surgery's however, I still have my hair it is slowly going away but for now it is there. No big deal considering how it could have been.

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that as it must really dent your confidence. I'd check with your doctor that it isn't Alopecia first. Would you consider shaving your hair off, it doesn't suit everyone but is very popular.

Other than that there isn't really a lot you can do unfortunately.

Answer 11

Just shave your head.

When you start getting older (over 18) then you realise that it happens to more people at an earlier ager than you previously thought.

When I was a child I thought that anyone who was bald must be over 60! But older people look at it defferently.
