17 and possibly balding. I need the truth.

[Codyiscool448]

My hairline has always been really high, and I have a wide ass Polish forehead that could possibly be pushing my hair into this pattern. Today marks the 1 year anniversary that I started to freak out about going bald. I check it a lot and it does not seem to be receding. All pics are current except for the one where I am in a blue sleeved baseball shirt. That one is from 2 or 3 years ago. It almost looks as if my hairline was thining then. Maybe I just have a shit hairline. Anyway, I need the honest to god truth. Don't sugarcoat anything.

What Norwood would you say I am? 2?3?

Looks NW1.5, NW2 at most, not quite there.

Looks like you're indeed noticing the first signs of MPB. Good thing you got it early.

Go to a doctor and get generic propecia asap, don't be scared off by Internet sides hyperbole and lose hair while you wait around and eventually end up on it when your hair gets bad and you say **** it, like I did. Got all freaked out over internet crap and started it 4 months ago, what do you know my dick still works. No significant sides at all.

Not sure why I didn't read that you were 17 in the title. In that case go see a dermatologist for miniaturization inspection and advice. Absolutely don't take propecia at 17 in my opinion.

Is there a magical age for your body to accept the drug?

Yes actually, finishing puberty. But you wouldn't actually know how the drug works since you prefer conspiracy theory right?

Just in reality that´s all.

If reality is a place where conjecture is treated as fact count me out.

If everyone thought like you we'd still be in the Stone Age.

HELLO Codyiscool448 and I hope that you and all else had a great Christmas !!
Cheers to all!

Codyiscool448, Im glad that you shared photos of your hairline and scalp, top, front and sides, thanks for that....
You WILL receive good advice here!
First of all, BaldingEagle gave you very GOOD ADVICE!
"...go see a dermatologist for miniaturization inspection and advice. Absolutely don't take propecia at 17 in my opinion"
That is the smartest thing for you to do for yourself and your hair right now, Cody'!!
Also STAY POSITIVE.
You might not have serious hairloss. No one can know for sure but you must stay positive and do NOT become emotional of stressed out over this!
Stress WILL cause serious issues to your hair for sure. Your health could be effected too.

Your hair looks OK..You might ONLY be experiencing a maturing of your hairline, and that all.
A percentage of men do only experience that.
Accept your hair bro. More than likely NO ONE ELSE around you have noticed any serious differences to your hair.
Do what BaldingEagle suggested to you,, see your dermatologist.
Also, pick up the multivitamin Biotin.
Biotin has been proven for many many years to improve ones hair, men and women alike.

Keep in mind that very young guys at your age can get
unnecessarily over-emotional and stressed-out about only possibilities.
That is not a criticism ,,its a fact of life.

Guys like BaldingEagle and myself do CARE about helping others here,,especially young guys like you by using commonsense , facts and honesty.
Stick around with 'us' all here.
Have a great NEW YEAR as well.
