Is This male pattern baldness/balding? 20-yo Here. College Student.

[Trips_st]

Hi. I'm 20, with hardly any history of hair loss on both sides of my family. I've been under a lot of stress lately due to college and internships. Is this balding?

Temples looks receded. Crown looks fine though as you part your hair through the middle.

 

[Trips_st]

So does it mean that I may be balding? Or is it a maturing hairline?

Do you yourself feel any change in your hair line? like thinning at the temples

Looks like early receding hairline to me.

I don't think there's been a great recession around my temples over the last 5-odd years. However, I've had sort of a general drop in hair density.

Sounds similar to what's happening to me. I've seen a few dermatologists about it. They couldn't figure it out. I even got a biopsy and it showed nothing. Only things I have yet to try are onion juice and finasteride.

Hey, you don't have any tooth issues do you? Cavities or tooth decay or anything?

I though Onion Juice was as good as snake oil? Does it really have any scientific backing?

No. I don't have any dental issues.
What's your Doctor's take on it? Does he/she think it's balding? Or could it simply be a maturing hairline?

To me your hairline looks early balding, butbits hard to say. Maturing hairline is usually more rounded off, but I've seen guys who have hairline like your then it stops.

My doctor said the loss in density isn't male pattern baldness related, but the temples could be.

I've heard onion juice can actually help a bit. But it's like rogain, you have to keep using it.

Ok thanks!
Anybody else out there who has a better idea about this?

Are you losing hair from all over your head or just the top?

Seems like I'm losing hair all over

Good luck finding the cause man, I haven't been able to. You might want to check out my thread too, to see the stuff I've tried. It's weird hair loss and growth. It should be on the front page still

 

[Alphalete]

looks like early signs of recession but it is male pattern baldness nevertheless in my opinion

 

[Vince_Reagan]

I agree with @Alphalete , if you are healthy all over and still losing hair (in any way) 99% it is male pattern baldness, the earlier you catch it the better you can tackle it.

Ok. I do have a high serum uric acid. But don't think it affects hair. Where would I feature on the Norwood scale? And should I start on the Big Three? Are they really any good?

Big 3 or I should say Big 1 i.e. Finsateride is the only thing that works. Other two are supplementary.
