Am I Balding ?

[Jstsjustas]

This started to appear about 5 months ago and I'm not sure what do do because I haven't seen anything like this anywhere online, I'm 17 if that matters. Is there any way to fix/reverse it ?

Hmm. I've never seen this pattern before. Get on finasteride when you turn 18 to maintain what you have. Minoxidil may grow some hair back as well.

That's not mbp

Maybe you pulled out some hair in your sleep or something... but that is not male pattern baldness..
Mbp goes slowly, thining until theres nothing left... But with you, it seems you lost one lock at once... That's not male pattern baldness... You could go to the doctor if youre worried.

could be alopecia areata or some kind of fungus, very strange

It looks to be alopecia areata. Go seek a medical professional.

Like some of the other posters said, it looks like alopecia areata and not male pattern baldness. Do not take the advice of taking finasteride yet because there are much more effective treatments for this condition such as corticosteroid injections and anti-inflammatory creams. Go make an appointment with a dermatologist to weigh out your best options.

Thanks everyone for the advice.
