Is losing hair on the fringe area only a male pattern baldness sign or could it be a bad diet and habits?

Question

I'm 19 years old, i know that I'm going to be bald in the future, but for now I see that my crown area and templets are pretty good and the problem is with my front hair, im now taking vitamins supplements for hair and biotin (vitamin d and b12 as I have deficiency in both of them) and my hair is really a lot stronger , is there any chance that my hair in the fringe area is going to grow again, and can the thining on that area be the first sign for male pattern baldness?

if you are losing hair and would like to understand why it would be best to see a doctor for an examination.  You need a good diagnosis before considering treatment options.

Kevin Ende, MD · Answer

The answer to your question is yes.  It sounds like you have taken the first step by taking vitamins, but you should also consider an examination as well as other medical therapies.  PRP may also be an option for you.

Well you could very well have a pattern baldness nonsense you corrected your dietary issues, maybe it’s time to go check to see if you have miniaturization on with the reputable hair restoration. They could check to see if your hair is thinning and point towards male pattern baldness. Having said that, finasteride 1 mg per day would be first choice to stop there laws and then consider transplant needed.

Your biggest enemy is the progressive thinning leading to a balding pattern that is not evident at this point in time. The degree of thinning that you are experiencing would suggest that you should see a doctor who most likely will get Bulk Measurements of your hair to determine the degree of the thinning that you may be presently having. If the diagnosis is early genetic hair loss (the most common cause of hair loss in young men and you are probably following your families balding problem), then the best treatment would be the drug finasteride which is highly effective in men of your age and may not only stop the hair loss but possibly reverse it. If you are developing a more advanced balding pattern the best test to get is the HAIRCHECK instrument test which will determine the Bulk Measurements of your hair and this will show, over a one-year time frame, how effective the treatment will be. Once you know this information, then you and your doctor need to develop a MASTER PLAN which will define what you need
