Hello, I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong category, I'm new here.
My mom was just passing behind my back today and she looked at my hair and told me I might be going bald. I panicked and made her take a shot of it.
Keep in mind that my father is bald and he has been so since 28.

For me It looks like the beginning of vertex and crown thinning. Don't panic, get on finasteride or dutasteride asap. You have a good density as I can see. But you can lose it before you turn 20. Don't do my mistakes. At 21 I noticed a little spot on my vertex that I never seen before. I hadn't thought much about it until the day when my agressive thinning started. When I turned 22 I lost nearly 50-60% of hair density all over my head. I always had very thick hair, so now I am looking just like an average guy. My current regimen is finasteride 1.25 mg/eod and dutasteride 0.5 mg 2x/week. I use it in hope to prevent further loss and hairline receding and of course to get some regrowth. I started recently so there are nothing to say about my progress. I don't have a history of male pattern baldness in my family, just moderate hairloss in my father's brother, but I don't look like him at all. So I tend to think in my case it's a telogen effluvium due to high stress and poor diet. But in your you should be very careful, cause your dad is bald. Just one important thing you should know: you can prevent further damage only with meds if you genetically predisposed to mbp. Just keep in mind that time is not on your side in this problem.
