21 years old - Asian mother and German dad unsure if I am balding
Ever since I cared about my looks when I was around 17 years old, I noticed that my hairline wasn't straight. My right corner always was 0.4cm higher and my left corner was looking alright. My forehead is around 4.9-5.1cm big in the middle section and 6cm in the left corner and 6.4ish cm on the right corner. It is driving me nuts that I could be balding and read multiple articles regarding male pattern baldness. Everywhere I read the same stuff like "mature hairline", "small recession is normal", "look at your maternal grandfather" and everyone's hairline changes between 17-29 years of age. Some are of the opinion that every slightest recession means you could go bald.. My mom is asian (filipina) and her family shows 0 signs of baldness, everyone has a good full head of hair. My dad on the other hand is bald, not completely though. He has a thick cul de sac with some hair here and there on top. My paternal grandfather wasn't bald and I don't have any paternal uncles, just an aunt which appears to have a thick head of hair in her 60s. He is german btw.
The thing that got me into this subreddit was lighter hair on my left corner. I naturally have black hair (which apparently is a very dark brown since black doesn't really exist as a color), but multiple hair strands appear to be dark brown instead of black. I lose about 10-20 hair strands a day (I count and collect them one by one whenever I shower) which should be normal/low? I don't shed my hair at least in my opinion looks thick. The only bad thing is my hairline, but it never looked good when my head shaped during puberty. Also my head has a weird shape (narrow chin, my cheekbones are the widest part of my face and smaller forehead compared to my cheekbones) and I have a big brow ridge, almost like a neanderthal.
I'll post some pictures for you to judge:

EDIT: In the first picture (red boxes) I used pomade and flash.
I haven't gone to a dermatologist yet and am scared to do so.
