    Default 17 Years Old, No Family History, Am I Going Bald?

    Around November I started worrying about hairloss after my friend pointed out a bald spot I've always had cause of stitches I've got when I was younger. Despite this, my BDD took over and I've been worried ever since. Here's my family history.

    Dad: NW0(1) with extremely long thick hair. No issue at ALL
    Dad's Dad: NW1.5/2, just no issues with crown, just a little thinning (he's 80)
    Mom's Dad: NW0(1) with long thin hair. His crown is a little thin, but I think he has CTE due to stress after my aunt died years ago.
    Mom's Brother: Hairloss caused by damaged hair due to excessive bleaching, still has a good head of hair at 50.

    Mom's Mom: Has a brother who is bald (this is the only bald link in my entire family)

    Here's some galleries with timestamps

    As for the tiny hairs on my hairline, I'm not worried. I was originally until I looked at photos from years ago and realized they've always been there.

    I was good on hairloss without worrying for a coule weeks, but recently I've started shedding in the shower (10 or so) and when styling my hair (10 or so). this could eithe rbe stress or just seasonal shedding due to the Telogen phase. Let me know
