Hi All, I'm a new member, just joined the site and my first post here.
I'm 53 and have been shaving or buzzing my head with balding clippers for quite a while due to MPB. I'm really ok with the MPB and going sly, always seemed a natural thing to do. I'm not very sly though as my remaining hair is dark / greying and the shadow is pretty obvious
Recently though, I have noticed that I get scalp wrinkles on the top of my head. Does anyone else get this?
By scalp wrinkles, I don't mean Cutis verticis gyrata, as my head is pretty much smooth, but when I raise my eyebrows, along with my forehead wrinkling (which is normal), my scalp moves (forward) a bit, and the skin on the top of my head gets wrinkles / fine lines as the skin is stretched slightly, across the top. Everything reverts back to 'normal', when I lower my eyebrows.
Not so long ago, I changed the lighting in my bathroom and the spot lights shine on my scalp from behind when I am in front of the mirror, which is when I started to notice this. Maybe my scalp has behaved in the way for quite a while and the lighting has accentuated it, hence that I have only noticed this quite recently. In other mirrors or lighting conditions, it's not so apparent.
I know a lot of guys with MPB, say they get scalp fibrosis and there scalp is really tight, shiny and doesn't move at all. Perhaps, I have MPB, but without any real fibrosis and have a 'loose' scalp? I mean after I shave and wash my head, the skin is pretty tight and has a shine, but as soon as I raise my eyebrows, the skin temporarily wrinkles, longitudinally (front to back direction) along the top of my scalp.
I'm 53, so it could be a natural consequence of aging. I have wrinkles / lines developing on my face due to my age, but really nothing that bothers me at all, so I'm not someone who frets over every single new fine line etc. Thing is, I see guys, who I guess are around my age, and they have wrinkles / line in their face, some more, some less than others, that's normal.. but my scalp?
So, just wondering how other guy's scalps behave, whether BBC or sly bald? As I say, my scalp / scalp skin is pretty much smooth otherwise, except for when I raise my eyebrows.
