Am I balding? (15 Male)

[Smith_Elliott1997]

I noticed I could see my scalp more at around 13, and my grandma believed me. My mom doesn't, but I brought it up to my dad and he did say it looked abnormal and to update him. Over the past year, I've been doing a bit of my own research and kinda been coping hoping it's seb derm, but I've lately been considering it's Androgenetic Alopecia.

A lil more info- I do have dandruff and often pick yellow goo-like substances from my scalp, behind my ears and under my nose. Not sure if it's seb derm though. My father is balding but he started in his 40s, whereas my uncles (mom and dad's side) aren't in the slightest. Both grandfathers were, though.

I recently switched from Selsun Blue shampoo because though it did control my dandruff I had to wash almost everyday or my hair would get greasy and thin. I'm now using a natural shampoo, which I saw Rosemary Oil on the label so I just got it. My hair is thicker and I only have to wash every 3-4 days.

I notice excessive hair shedding but only up to 5 months ago, when I started losing an additional 3-5 hairs every shower and more hair on my pillow.

Please take a look, I really appreciate any help.

since you're an elliott fan what you're gonna wanna do is blast this bootleg from 2000 real loud and just start massaging the f*** out of your scalp. the dandruff (Sebum) is stuck between the skin of your scalp and your skull. you don't look to be balding in the androgenetic alopecia sense yet but you can def get some more bang for your buck as far as density goes by getting bloodflow to the scalp and clearing out the sebum. you're also pretty young to be messing with medications but you can try some topical minoxidil from walmart and switch from selsun blue to nizoral (ketoconazole formula).

hey im not a doctor but for a 15 year old that is not ''normal''. you are not supposed to have a wide gap in your hair at that age.

please go to the doctor to check and treat it asap. that is the best thing you can do.

Finasteride, minoxidil. You'll regret it otherwise.

Too young for Finasteride but get topical minoxidil and apply twice a day. At 23 I had the same pattern and the minoxidil thickened it up.
