    Default Not sure if I am balding or just developing a "mature hairline"

    Lately, I've been stressing a lot about my receding temples. I'm only 21 and this has been on my mind a lot. My hairline is only receding from the temples, not from the front. Is this normal or should I go to a dermatologist? I think I might go see a derm anyway, just want to see what others thought.

    I should also note that my right temple has always been "receded" I've had that temple like that since high school, and it's always stayed the same, it's never gotten worse. I guess I'm just starting to notice it more now since I'm being more self-conscious.

    Another thing to note is that my dad is bald, but both of my grandpas and all of my uncles from both sides are not completely bald. Not sure if that says anything.

    No before picture so can't tell. If concerned and you see a big difference get on propecia. Just see your primary care physician a derm will be a waste of time and most of them are useless but I don't think you need to see a Dr. at all.

    I would save these pictures and just compare in 6 months to see if progressing.

    The picture in the red jacket is from high school, and the other two pictures are from earlier this year towards February.
