I Am Male, But I Have Female Patterned Loss

Hello! What is the best treatment for female pattern hair loss? I am a 28 year old male, however my hair is thinnest 1/3 inch behind the hairline as described in female pattern loss. I visited a Dr. about five years ago when this began although he he claimed I have MPB. Confused and hopping to find a treatment asap as thinning is spreading. Thank you!

What it seems like you are actually saying is that your juvenile hair line is persistent and that you are losing hair behind it. This juvenile area (located in the first 2/3rds inch above the frontal muscle crease which you can see when you wrinkle the forehead) has a different genetic makeup than the hair behind it. This is common to many women who have patterned hair loss. I have seen men develop patterned hair loss where they go almost completely bald, but their juvenile hairline remains. Sometimes the same is seen in a persistent forelock, which can have a different genetic makeup as well. The use of the words female pattern hair loss is a poor choice of words. What you have is a frontal hairline that is very strong and may never go away in your lifetime. Count your lucky stars. If you elect to have a hair transplant, this persistent line will keep your costs down and give you an outstanding frontal presentation. To more accurately diagnose your hair loss, get your hair mapped out for miniaturization for a complete diagnosis. You need to be sure that the rest of your scalp is normal and develop a Master Plan to be sure that you are properly dealing with the short and long term decisions that are now before you.
