correction - top all the way to the right. the picture of the top of his head under good lighting.

My doctor told me it was normal to see scalp on the sides near the crown, especially under harsh lighting and with my double crown it will appear to show more scalp. Thanks for your input though as It's crossed my mind also that it might be a MPB pattern. Thanks guys.

I think it's possible that there's a very slight recession in the hairline and tiny bit of thinning in the crown, but definitely minimal. I don't feel like it will go too far based on your family history, especially considering how little has happened after 5 years, but you never know. I would keep an eye on it, and if you see progression then maybe look into treating it. Honestly, right now, I think it looks pretty normal. How old are you?

Looking at older pictures of me, I don't see any change to my hairline, the only worry I have is just the thickness of the hair. I'm not sure if my hair has gotten thinner ontop or if it was always like that. I'm 23 in July and It's only my mothers side that has experienced balding. My dads side is pretty lucky with the hair. There's a picture of my mums dad when he was getting married who was about 24/25 and he has like no hair compared to me when he was just 2 years older.
