Hair Loss At 16? Paranoid Of The Possibility

[samesist]

Hello! I am 16 years old and my scalp seems to be very visible from the top. My hair is long and wavy, like my mom's. My dad is borderline balding (still has a pretty significant amount for a 53 yr old but thinning is definitely present) and my mother's immediate male relatives have not experienced any sign of male pattern baldness. Attached are pictures from last week (white shirt) and pictures taken today (blue jacket). I think it has gotten pretty bad, and when asked, my classmates agreed. I take great care of my hair, and I am very much afraid of losing it.

Yeah you can see it. But there's not a lot you can do at your age. Minoxidil, bout it. Doesn't mean it's going to continue much further for you can do something. Tell your parents n go see a dermotologist.

For what reason could it be? I have an incredibly lax lifestyle and I rarely get stressed.

Androgenic alopecia.

I don't see much thinning, if any. Plus you are too young for any treatment

If it gets worse in 5 years, you could start finasteride

A piece of advice from a bro , do not take anything for now! This seems so normal you have awesome hair volume , and this line is normal to appear since you comb your hair in this way.
