Hi. Im 22 and im starting to go bald. I used to be a very outgoing lad, never at home, but ever since ive started losing my hair ive lost my social life and my girlfriend. I just dont want people to see that im losing my hair because its very embarrassing and my mates laugh and joke about it most of the time and they dont realise how much it really hurts to be like this. Ive always had good and up to date hair styles but cant anymore because im scared that it might show more. I feel very insecure, very depressed, feel very unattractive and sometimes cry to myself.
I was a extremely confidence lad before with no worries at all but this is stopping me from enjoying my life. All i want is a full head of hair and my life back. Please could you help me out.

Hi, I am a woman of 62, my hair has been gradually thinning over the years but now has become a real sensitive and very highly emotional problem for me. My doctor told me years ago that I had "male pattern baldness and that I would have to put up with it as nothing could be done, devastating to say the least! It has got worse and I no longer want to even go out. With a woman,I feel, that her hair is a great part of her femininity, if you hav'nt got your hair how can you look any good? Wigs, by other well meaning people have been suggested, but not only am I going bald but I also suffer from excessive sweating on the scalp no matter what the weather is, cold or hot. So can you imagine wearing a wig and sweating profusely under it, I would not want to present my husband with the sight of me removing a wig at bedtime!I am so so very unhappy and getting reclusive.

Hello. I have been losing my hair since the age of 16 and now the top of my skull is almost completely bald. It has damaged my confidence immensely, I often wonder how different my life would have been with a full head of hair, the different choices I would have made. I have married twice so I don't think it has affected my romantic life, but I would like to look in the mirror and see something other than my shiny head! If there are treatments available, I will try them. I would need to get them on the NHS as I have no money at all. I suffer from depression and think that treatment could be the way forward, a big step on the road to recovery.

Ive been going bald since i was about 21 and have tried various treatments and have settled on avodart its stronger than propecia and has stoppped hair loss. Its produced by glaxosmithkline well worth a go
