I really don’t want to go on fin because of the sides, but I need another way of getting the DHT off of my scalp. Has anyone ever been successful at scraping it off? Any help is appreciated.
The DHT is in your blood and hair follicles, so it can’t be taken off of your scalp.

The shed can be an acceleration of the balding process which, at times, lead men to blame the drug not their genetic balding.

I’m a 29-year-old male with an extremely thick head of hair…may not sound like a problem but I’ve noticed that it is somewhat (not much, but noticeable to the feel) thinner in the crown area. I still have full coverage however, but I’m just wondering if this is something to keep an eye on or if it is natural of most people’s heads and nothing to worry about.
Some people develop crown thinning leading to crown hair loss (which is what I had). Get your scalp mapped out for miniaturization to determine if you have genetic thinning of the crown and if you do, drugs like Propecia (in its early stages) can completely reverse the process and maintain a reversal for years and years in some people.

Comment received in response to the recent post about Dr Gho’s technique:
Sorry doc, but the difference between his procedure and yours is that his does not deplete the donor. He has proven this over and over again both with patients and peer reviewed journal articles. He uses a smaller, wave tipped needle and a special storage solution to make this possible. I would suggest that you look into his procedure further before making blanket assumptions and accusations out of what appears to be professional jealousy? With respect.
I have no professional jealousy here. When I watched his video at one of the medical meetings where he presented his technique, what I clearly saw was FUE. I polled the doctors that viewed it (unofficially) and most people agreed that what they saw, looked like FUE to them. On my next trip to Amsterdam, I will call and ask him to allow me to view his technique up close.
Photography has lots of problems with it mostly because it is subjective, depends upon views and lighting, length of hair where small increases in length make a big difference. Defined hair counts with tattoo placement to guarantee that the same field would be examined to have value. Also objective studies like the HAIRCHECK would convince me but it doesn’t seem to be a driving force for investigators.

Look at the arrows pointing to the miniaturized hairs. The diagnosis is determined when the miniaturized count significantly exceeds 20% of the total hairs. That is not the case here, so I can assume that you do not have DUPA. I hope you are relieved.
It is likely that you have alopecia areata. Take a look at this reference: https://baldingblog.com/how-does-a-dermatologist-check-for-miniaturization/ which shows the in-office examination results from using a trichoscope for the evaluation and diagnosis of this condition. This patient shows the classic critical diagnostic finding with a trichoscope or exclamation mark hairs
