Possible Hair Loss ?

[UK_]

The photos you have provided show no evidence that you are going bald. All I see happening is that you have developed your adult mature male hairline, which is completely normal for adult caucasion males.

Completely aside from this particular case, but isnt a maturing hairline one sign of MPB?

Plz stop giving advice, you are not a doctor, and you are talking out of your ass 99.9% of the time.

Photos taken just today. DO you guys think this is a maturing hair line or simply balding ?

Last 2 pictures are of my right temple

Even if you are going bald there are literally no options, propecia and minox are useless.

Welcome to the barren cold industry of hair loss... full of liars snakes & sharks & jungles of saw palmetto.

I think no one here will convince you that you are not balding.

I have given you my opinion and so have many others. Having a mature hairline so young means you do have the balding gene but it hasn't been fully activated and you might not even go bald beyond your temples, never.

That's my opinion and it's backed up by some scientific papers.

You will see jealous guys saying you have already MPB.

I think you should go a doctor for a miniaturization study to end this once and for all. Otherwise you will be forever obsessed with your hair and looking yourself hours in the mirror.

you're the only one that got it spot on when you say im obsessed, I didn't mean to offend you but I felt like words just couldn't describe enough like a picture can. Regardless i'm still grateful for your advice

would get started with some treatment (but not finasteride!). however, still doesn't look bad to me...you have a very long way to go

There are a handful of guys on this forum that consistently deny children and adults have different hairlines. Similarly some of them lash out at Tracy C for no apparent reason on a regular basis, as well as misrepresenting the usefulness and safety of existing treatments. It's not to be taken seriously, just a regular part of BTT theater, and you don't need to mind it if you're just looking for info.

If you want to know for sure if you have male pattern hair loss, visit a hair loss specialist and get a diagnosis. If you have MPB and want to stop it, finasteride and dutasteride are the only two current options proven effective with solid safety profiles. Men can typically maintain their hair on these medications for at least 5 years, often for longer. There are cases of men staying above baseline for over a decade.
However you should know that dutasteride has not been studied as a long-term MPB treatment so its level of safety for that purpose is not as well established as finasteride. There are many anecdotal stories of men using it successfully, and safely, for years but of course anecdotes aren't as reliable as controlled clinical studies.
There are also two medications shown safe and effective as adjunct male hair loss treatments (not stand-alone treatments): minoxidil and ketoconazole.

For what it's worth your hair looks good, and if you have any MPB it must be in very early stages. Good luck.

The dude is 18, what kind of sick bastard are you to mention finasteride or even worse dutasteride !??!!

Ohh yeah, kind of skimmed over where he said he was 18.

Might want to wait a couple years on the DHT suppression. Your physical development will be done at 20. You'd probably be alright anyhow since DHT levels are mainly crucial from the womb to the end of puberty, but better safe than sorry.
Good luck.
