How To Determine The Inevitable (alopecia Or Norwood?)

Hello all!

Name is Matt and I'm 28 years old, nice to meet you. For the longest time I have been shaving my head to the skin (in the Bald community this is known as BBC or Bald By Choice) at first this was due to the extreme comfort of the style and also because I suffer from bouts with Seborrheic Dermatitis. However, over time I have noticed my widow's peak (which I have always had) seems to have become more pronounced. That and the corners of my head have definitely thinned. That being said, one of my fellow co-workers pointed out how the top of my head is thinning. I must be honest it seems as though this is the case but I have always been able to grow decent hair regardless of it when I choose to. Based on the photos below and those within this community given their experiences and perhaps similar situation, would you say this to be true?

Obviously I would be bothered since though I have shaved my head multiple times in the past, I always found comfort knowing I could grow my hair back if I chose. My hair grows fairly fast and the following photos are from a months growth from March 18. The other photos of my hair long is from last year around this same time.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and for the comments as they come.

-Matt

You can upload files via the "upload" button. Once the file is uploaded, you have to insert it in the post either via @thumbnail@ or with the @full image@ buttons.

Thank you much! I have done this now. It ended up being my browser so I had to switch browsers.

There is a slight thinning based on the pictures. It hits the temples and the crown.
As you know, it is not that there is a "custom" cure for this...
There are just a few choices. Your best bet is propecia or generic 1mg finasteride. You maybe:
- one of those for whom the drug works
- one of those for whom the drug has no side effects
