    Default Am I balding?

    Hello! I am 16 years old and I am paranoid on the fact that I may be balding at my crown. Some people told me that a swirl is normal at the crown but I personally feel like hair is thinning on my crown and think the white spot is becoming bigger. I dont know if this is something permanent and I will be balding in the future or if this is just because of stress or etc.

    A swirl or "cowlick" is very very common. Losing your hair at 16, while not fun, is not uncommon. The idea is to take pics, every few months, and see if it gets any worse. Also, pay attention to excess hair in the shower, brush/comb, pillow, etc. Up too 100 hairs a day, is NORMAL.
