I am a bald 22 year old male with cutis verticis gyrata. Its a very interesting and unique position to be in because CVG doesnt develop til after puberty, so you live through your teen years never knowing you have it. Many have it for decades and never realize it because they have long hair. But unfortunately, I have turbo-balding genetics. Going from a pretty normal, average guy to a brutally ugly deformed person over the course of 5 years has been hard. Really hard. I thought about getting a "hair system", which is basically a toupee, but unfortunately I have also experienced a lot of thinning on the sides of my hair also. Yep, no luck. I feel like killing myself most days. The feeling of being trapped in your body, knowing you will forever resent the way you look, knowing you will never be loved - its crushing.

How can one live for decades without realizing? Do you not feel it under your fingertips when you wash your hair?
I have it too but I may never go bald so its ok. Apparently its more common in retards.
Its hard to tell when your hair is grown out unless you are really paying close attention
wouldn't a barber notice it?
Once again, probably not. I mean there are tons of stories of people having no idea until they randomly shave their head. It can come in varying degrees of severity too, im sure a lot of those situations are on the milder side.
>tfw to smart for a normal head
yeah the milder ones I get, but i feel like OP pic would be very easy to notice
yeah, it is. But its associated with, like, the profoundly retarded, not just the slightly stupid. So we should be fine in that respect.
>tfw smooth scalp
feel for you man. i feel pretty much exactly as you described but im only just balding. no wrinly head thing or w/e.
even so its a hard pill to swallow knowing you will hate the way you look everytime you see yourself in the mirror for the rest of your life.
some are born to lose. try to accept you will never have a romantic relationship and focus on other shit
dumb question here but couldn't cosmetic surgery fix this?
Sort of. There are surgeries available but its not exactly a great solution. You are left with pretty significant scars, and your head will still have a certain lumpiness to it. And from what I gathered, although there is very little information out there about this due to the rarity of the condition, because CVG is a progressive deformity - it will just start to wrinkle up again as the years go on. I could be wrong about that though, I dont think anybody on earth has a conclusive answer though.
Regardless, best case scenario im still a bald, scarred, lumpy headed, facially unattractive incel. The situation has unironically made me borderline agoraphobic. I dropped out of college. Im a NEET. Im deeply ashamed about it and am terrified of running into people I used to know from when I was a teenager. Its just so embarrassing.
Nah I get it user. When I was 19 and I started losing my hair I felt plenty depressed about "just" that. Its a pretty massive blow to your confidence, and unless you are super masculine looking you probably will never be attractive bald. It definitely sucks.
Have you considered hair plugs or something similar?
Have you considered while youre a smooth brain lumpy head im a superior lumpy brain smooth head?
BRO I thought your head was a dehydrated tiddy
just wear a cool wig and no one will know
Finasteride unfortunately wasnt effective for me, so a hair transplant would be pointless. Its almost comical how every single possible solution for my situation is impossible for me specifically. Im not a religious guy, but it almost makes me feel like im being tested
Full head wigs look terrible, desu. Wouldnt feel confident in that at all.
I'm really sorry that's happening to you. If that were me I'd want to do something bad to myself too. But please don't.
You can still become someone really great.
hm, i thought it would be more like a facelift but for the scalp where they just pull it back and stretch it out.
