noticed my balding spot a month ago
might be either norwood 3 but heading into 4, norwood 4, or norwood 5. i am terrified that i might be too late and i do hope i can get the fin on time when i book a doctors appointment and/or a determatologist appointment.
i just HOPE i didn’t screw it up…
and before you ask
i JUST applied the rogaine last night and i JUST put the shampoo on along with the hair fibers. i am worried that the sheading process might put me back WAY Behind
Almost 2 months in. I only say very very tiny hairs on my temples. I’ll give out a reason later but if you can zoom in, you can see SOME very tiny hairs.

Since you have an appointment booked, one practical way to prepare is to put your dated updates and photos into a short timeline and list what you have already used. You could ask the appointment office beforehand whether they need any records or forms, so you do not have to chase those on the day. Keeping your questions on one page can also help you leave with a clear follow-up plan. The choice of medication belongs with the clinician who assesses you.
i actaully have photos from july-october saved up on the back of my head and i have been using keto shampoo twice a week and have been using min once a night.
my follow-up plan so far is basically has once i DO get fin, i start with 1 mg, continue with min and keto shampoo
also my plan is keep my hair growing long in my 20s, into my 30s, make it shorter, everytime i grow in my 30s (Like 33, 34, 36,) It gets shorter and shorter everytime i get a haircut, late 30s, clean haircut
40s to early 50s, short buzzcut (The deciding if i want to go bald in my 50s or 60s)
A part of me is considering microneedling as well.
I Just hope the determatoligist i booked to talk to, doesn’t turn me down for some reason…
If one dermatologist turns you down, simply make an appointment with another, don’t let it worry you. I actually travel to the next town over for this. The same goes for pharmacies, pharmacists are discreet, the one in my village simply told me, “I do this for some guys here too.”
