Hair Loss Forum

I live in Uk. I have a receding hairline which, if I get my hair cut short, family/friends comment on. The receding hairline isn't too bad yet, so I want to stop any further hairloss.

Me at the moment are in these photos.

Now I realise that there are people on the board who have far worse hairloss and should say that I should count myself lucky. I appreciate that but I want to stop it receding anymore. I struggle enough with my looks - the photos don't show my pockmarked acne scars all over my face.

I see my options at the moment as follows. I could pay a lot to go see a dermatologist privately. But why do I get the impression that I will be paying £200 for a two minute conversation where she goes.

"Treatments are 1) finasteride 2) minoxidil"

I have read in a Philip Kingsley book that minoxidil doesn't work. And quite frankly I don't think my hairloss is bad enough to suffer the side effects of finasteride. In my Philip Kingsley book though, I did read about how in their clinic they have had a lot of success with their topicals to block DHT. So i am tempted to make an appointment there - it is £200 though. This is the clinic and they are trichologists.

So any advice for this newbie appreciated. Should I just keep using my nizoral shampoo and say try some spiro 5% cream?

hi i have been seeing a phillip kingsley tricologist in newcastle for the last 1 and a half years, i was using 3m drops containing minox 3% but had to stop after 6 months due to facial hair since have been using mdrops,with a dialator lotion,scalp mask protein capsules i visit the tricologist every 3 months sorry to say i am having no luck i'm in a dilemma whether to stop or keep hoping 4 a miracle the tricologist is really nice but i think i,m kidding myself i suffer from AGA/TE hope this info is useful
