Yes, you are losing your hair. It very much reminds me of the way my hair started to go with thinning all along the hairline, including the front middle part

I'm no expert but I can imagine that if you are developing a mature hairline that both temples wouldn't recede at the exact same rate.

I'm currently waiting for a dermatologist and my left temple looks way worse then my right. It's not uncommon or unheard of, I've been google'ing "hairloss" for days on end as you probably have/are.

Honestly I think that the worst thing you can do is what most people on this forum have done(including me, i know, i know i'm a hypocrite) and that's obsessing and trying to count every single hair that falls out of your scalp.

I recommend you stop rubbing your hands through your hair just to see how many hairs you can get.

If the first thing you do when you wake up is stare at your pillow and see how many strands of hairs you can find on your linens you are putting more stress on yourself then is necessary.

Stop looking at your hands after each rinse and shampoo/conditioner massage.

Let the hair specialist worry about all that stuff.

You might not be balding ! You may have a condition that the other dermatologists didn't catch. The possibilities are endless. Worst thing that can happen to you is that the hair specialist says "Yep, You got Male Pattern Baldness". But at your stage it really doesn't matter because once you start taking meds you will stop balding and might even regain some hairs that you've lost. By the time you begin to seriously bald with the meds there will be better treatment options out there my man don't stress it.

I'm going through the same thing and I'm also 18. You are not alone.

The thing is, if i really am balding, then dermatoligists arent really helping if they keep telling me that im not, i can see a shitload of hair falling everyday, the top of my head burns like shit, and many of the hairs im losing are not as long as they should be, but they keep telling me that im fine and that my current crown's Ok. If i need to start Fin, i will, but i'll need a persecription. Did you start meds yet? and also to anyone who reads this, one doctor told me to take Nanogen serum, i bought a bottle but i still didnt start to use it... should i?

[mrblol]

I'm not on any sorts of meds because I have yet to be diagnosed by a dermatologist. However if I find out that I am balding you can bet that I would start taking meds.

[Johny.track131]

Hey everyone, i'm back to my paranoia, my shedding is crazy weird (no meds except Nanogen Serum VEGF) i take it because a dermo told me i'm not balding.. but i should take it ... (what the hell) i also started Curcumin, Biotin, MSM, and Garlic Extract. I cant judge if my hairline has receded or if my crown thinned, what do you guys think (is there a chance that i might not have hairloss or MPB?) please compare these pics with the ones in the first post

[25 going on 65]

Looks like hair loss to me, with visible miniaturization. Unless your dermatologists have diagnosed a non-MPB cause, it's most likely MPB.
At this point I would grab a prescription for finasteride and 2% keto shampoo. But it's up to you whether you want to treat it.
The regimen you're on now probably won't do much to stop you from losing hair.

[PatientlyWaiting]

I hate to be the realistic guy in every god damn thread on this forum.

You have temple recession. That's the start of MPB.

My goodness, people, just because some one has more hair than you, doesn't mean they're hair is "great". The guy probably has more hair than some of us put together, but to tell him he does not have at least the start of MPB is just overkill.

[Johny.track131]

so you are sure that MPB has begun and that i should start fin? no hope if this being a maturing hairline (whatever that is)? And does the nanogen serum work at all? and has there been progression from page 1 or is this based on the pics in the last post alone? sorry for the many questions, but being hit by MPB isnt easy, and having demo's lie lie and lie isnt easy as well..

[Johny.track131]

also if this is based on pregression from post 1 to the current post, i'm going to college next semester, does this mean i'll go bald mid college? (a nightmare in itself)
