I feel like my hair is noticeably thinning recently. Male pattern baldness is very prevalent on both sides of my family tree. I have a few questions: Is this male pattern baldness? If so, is it diffuse pattern? And way of predicting what my final place on the norwood scale will be? Thank you.

Answer: Diffuse Male Pattern Baldness Assuming you have not had significant shedding in the past 2 months or so (that is bundles of hair on your comb, pillow and brush) and that this has been gradual, it certainly appears to be male pattern baldness. If I were to guess, I think you will progress to a Type VI or VII Norwood pattern. Minoxidil, Propecia, and PRP may be helpful in holding onto your hair for a longer time. In the meantime, you could use Toppik or something similar to create the appearance of density. You should see a Dermatologist for a complete assessment, to rule out other reasons for the hair loss, however.
