[Santinofl]

And I noticed this bald spot on the back of my head

My hairline is not receding and I do have some other cowlickso but this one I'm not sure

Let me know what you think hanks

Cowlick, a quite obvious one too.

That could be baldness there. Not so sure its not Androgenetic Alopecia. The reason I say that, the rest of your
head looks more dense, with hair follicles (top). But that one spot goes about an inch.

Is your hairline where it should be (nostrils => chin = top of nose -> hairline). If it's further than that,
you might want to get it evaluated.

Yes it is I have a rather small forehead my eye brow to hair measure at 2' on the dot while my nose to hairline measures at 2 and a half inches if that's helps

A half inche? As in one centimeter?

You might be a Norwood 1 then. What about the temple points?

One centimeter hairline is a Norwood one, for a guy. Usually it goes North, until it hits the
vertex (North pole).

How would I go about measuring the temple points

Here's another picture

That doesn't look natural. Sorry to say this, but it's the truth. I would have that looked at.

There's no hair there at the center. Not saying it's Androgenetic Alopecia. But it's probably something.

Where should I go to have it looked at?
