Am I balding. What shall I do? Please help I'm freaking out

[Shaise]

Hi. I'm 20 years old and I looked at my temples. I used to convince myself I have a mature hairline but now I don't know . What shall I do. I've attached the pictures if it helps.

In your opinion is it male pattern baldness starting or just mature. My hair is wet in the picture so not sure if that affects the accuracy.

Otherwise what should I do.

Any thoughts?

Make some photos when your hair its mot wet. ALSO, show me your crown and roll back your hairline and make photos, to see if its receding.

Hey so basically I showed my pictures to an online clinician and they said they wouldn't recommend finasteride or minox as I'm not showing the signs yet . But here are some of the pics

Sorry the first hairline pic my hair was still damp lol.

Also I've tried that gimmick where you put your finger between the highest forehead wrinkle and the hairline. If it's less than or equal to the finger it's not receding. If it's more than the finger it's receding. The middle of my hairline is about the same as my pinky from tbe highest wrinkle. So I think I'm safe in that regard too?

Hmm, I am sorry to say this, but yes, your temples are receding quite bad. Also the spot on your crown looks like a cowlick, but I am not sure, just watch it for a while. Just go to a dermatologist bro, it's all you can do, He will know better what to do.

Is anyone from your familly bald? Father,Brother, uncle etc.

PS: When you pull back your hairline, put another picture. Just pull it back like in this photo, to see if you have any miniaturization on your hairline.

I actually sent my pictures to a clinician through email and they said it seems I have a normal pattern of hair, but told me to keep watching it. She didn't reccommend anything like finasteride yet.

And yeah my mom's father and brothers were all bald. My dad still has hair and he's 48.

I can try my best to pull my hairline back but it's kinda tough with hair at this length.

I'd take generic rogaine. You could start with 2 percent.

I don't really want to start with that stuff unless I know i really have to. Because the hair will become dependent on it. Is it worth it?
