    Default Mature Hairline or Balding?

    I recently got my hair cut shorter than I have in many years, and after styling it for a few days i noticed my temples have receded a little bit. Fortunately I have an appointment with my dermatologist in a couple weeks for an unrelated reason so I can hopefully find out then, but was just hoping to get some opinions from others on here before then.

    Just some info, I am 21 and my father is mostly bald at 50, my moms father has a complete head of hair.Click image for larger version

    Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have said so.

    In all my research I have never encountered hairline recession due to "maturity", the hair line recedes because of DHT/MPB. You could suffer hairloss from TE but that is usually diffuse all over the scalp and does not move the hairline back, it could make it thinner where you could see the scalp but actual recession is an MPB thing. It's a pattern after all, easily recognized.

    Where I'm at currently do you think it could be successfully treated?

    There's no question. It's MPB. Don't delude yourself from the fact that life isn't always fair, because it's not.

    What did you come here expecting to hear?

    Yes, you have MPB. Whether you hear it from us or a dermatologist, it won't change the fact. Ask for Finasteride.
