Hi, guys. I'm a 28-year-old male who was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease in January. I have a question about my hair-loss pattern: can hypothyroidism mimic male-pattern baldness?
The outer third AND inner third of my eyebrows have significantly thinned, though it's most noticeable on the outside. What concerns me more, however, is the way I'm losing my hair. There is some diffuse thinning, but the section of hair at the very front of my forehead has thinned dramatically in the last two years, and in just the last year my hairline has actually moved back somewhat. If it were not for the Hashimoto's, I would assume I was just going bald. But can Hashimoto's hair loss look this way in a man?
And can I expect that my hair will return once I begin medication (I'm seeing the endocrinologist next month)?
