Am I balding? 27/m need some opinions please!

[sethhackworth]

27/m I have noticed that one side of my hair is alot thinner as of late. I have thick hair but not as thick as it was when I was 23/24. I have an appointment next month to see a dermatoligist. Do you think I need to be taking Fin/Minox? Is it possible I just will have a bad hairline and not be "bald". I have always had issues with a dry scalp but it has been a little worse lately. I have some pictures posted on different days and wet. Also do you think maybe I should buzz it or grow it out real long even? Dad side is bald and mom side is thick full hair. I stress about this bad and just want some guidance and maybe hope.

Just want some opinions. Idc if I am bald when I'm in my 60's haha but 30's would be a shame

Thanks guys and good luck to all
