Need advice on my bald spot & hairline (27)

[bsheck]

Hi everyone,

I'm 27 years old and I've had this bald spot for about 2 years. Here are a few pictures.





Hair are a few pics of what my hairline looks like in the front.





I've tried Rogaine but had to stop when my scalp got red. For what it's worth my family has no history of hairloss, both my grandfathers had a full head of hair, same with my father and uncles.

Honestly I'm leaning toward getting a hair transplant to cover it up and maybe improving my frontal hairline depending on cost, but I'd appreciate any advice that anyone can give me. Thanks.
