When All Else Fails, What Can a Young Man With Hair Loss Do Besides Give Up?
Hey, I just want to take a second to thank Dr. Rassman for all of the time that he puts into this blog in helping young men as myself in looking for solutions to hair loss. I just want to explain something for a second.
First of all im 20 years old, have been losing my hair for some time. For all the time I put looking for answers to stop my receding pattern, people like me seem to be just wasting their time. I have been on finasteride for two years, and from the looks of my head, it seems as if I have no more options. I come to this blog out of desperation to hopefully find a “miracle cure” that will hopefully one day regrow the little fibers of youth that have slowly destroyed any bit of self confidence I once had. Im afraid that I have put countless hours a week researching baldness and still can find no answer in how to stop this.
How do people like me… when all fails…deal with this situation?…because it seems to me like the answer that makes the most sense is to just give up. It is most certainly wrong that young men, barely out of high school, will not face judgement and humiliation from this. In my case, I am embarrased to say that this little problem has turned into one big life crisis. A couple of years ago I was a pretty good looking kid. Now I cant jump into a pool without my scalp showing for everyone to point fun at. Two years ago I was happy…now im just depressed
If I’m going on a little rant here im sorry, but im just desperate I’m afraid. In reality, is there any hope for the guys like us, who seem to see thier youth crumbling, and confidence fading?
You’re not alone in feeling this way. Unfortunately, we don’t have all the answers and there is no cure for hair loss. It’s possible that a hair transplant could be in your future… but you need to find a caring doctor who can work with you on a Master Plan addressing hair loss possibilities.
I feel for you, I am in the same situation. There isn’t much you can do except get a transplant(just hope the hairs behind the transplant don’t fall out) or let nature take its course and let it fall out and then shave your head. The lucky ones out there who catch their baldness at an early age can take pills and then maintain what they have until they are in their 30’s and by then they are either married or the hair loss just stops, and they are left with what the drugs had maintained.
Its really hard to tell and depends entirely on your genetic make up and so on.
Hehe, you can tell them don’t laugh, statistics show that half of you guys will go bald too!
And after you’ve got them a little nervous, comment on how its weird how Joey’s hair looks thinner than it did last year, just a little bit…like right there (you see?)
I said it before, HAIR LOSS SUCKS!!
Worst case scenario, you could shave your head and have the SMP procedure done giving you the shaved-but-full-head-of-hair look.
