Balding? What Norwood Is This? Just Paranoid?

[marc192]

Hi,

Just wondering if I started balding or just freaking out. I am 28 years old. Father still has a head full of hair at 72 years old and is about NW2. Up until his late 50's and early 60's, he was NW1. On my mother's side, her father had a head full of hair at 80. I am mostly worried about the right side top corner as I didn't have just a few years back.

I appreciate your help. Pictures in the link below.

You're fine. Maybe a slight maturing of the hairline but the density behind it looks solid.

All in all, for 28, I can't see anything to worry about. If you were 18, maybe the early signs of something more aggressive, but given your age and the fact there doesn't seem to be any serious thinning, I'd say you'll be fine for many years to come.

Hi,

Just an update as it's been over 2y since this post. I'm 30 years old and still keeping an eye on it.

Noticed a slight thinning, might be due to stress and wondering if it's time to hop on Rogaine/Minoxidil? Or other options such as dermaroller, microneedling, prp? Or let it be?

Thanks!
