    18 years old, am I balding

    I'm turning 19 in September. My father never went bald. Nobody on my mothers side is bald and my 10 year older brother isn't bald either. My grandfather and my fathers brother went bald, however.

    Me and my mother have always hade that typical, wavy, fine Northern European hair since I am from Sweden. My family says that they haven't seen any change, but I'm not certain about that.

    I can notice som like, ''fuzzier/thinner hairs'' at the front of the hairline and temples.
    Until recently, I've always have had longer hair, so they MAY have always been there, but I do not know.
    I'm not losing any more hair in the shower or waking up with a lot of hair on my pillow though. Density is the same everywhere, according to other people who have looked at it, at least.

    PLEASE VIEW EVERYTHING BEFORE GIVING A VERDICT. Thanks.

    Recent Videos (pulling middle of the hair back, dry hair) :

    Picture #1-2 : taken at 17 years old, #1 is me not showering for days, #2 is with wet hair

    Picture #3-9 : taken at 18 years old, the first of the pictures is me with styled hair and the rest are pictures with wet hair slicked back. Here hair is quite a bit longer on top compared with the videos at the top.

    Here is also a silly video of me at 17 years old. With hair styled with gel in an upward motion. Here hair is quite a bit longer, so it might not be useful, but whatever. https://streamable.com/erye2

    And if I am balding, what treatment should I undergo?

    Thanks in advance.

    I can't see anything that indicates you are balding.

        Thanks for the replys. I somehow managed to land an hasty appointment today with an dermatologist and the doctor prescribed Finasteride, so I'm going to try it anyhow.

          Did the dermatologist see signs of MPB?

            She said that she could see what COULD be early signs of MPB. She said that I could go on Finasteride and see if it stayed the same or got better. I gather that it doesn't have any consequences for the hair, or any other side effects apart from potential libido problems. But if I notice such side effects (which are rare according to the dermatologist and from what I gather online) I'll have to weigh the two options against each other.

            If you have any advice to give regarding this I am all ears, however.

                    Keep the rogaine and tricomin and if needed start propecia.
