It looks like you are receding unfortunately. I suggest you see a dermatologist to get it confirmed, and see if you can be prescribed finasteride.

Impossible to know, but if your father lost it young and you're at this stage at 21, i would see a dermatologist asap

Doesn't look bad to me. The side pictures look more worrysome than the front.....but its hard to tell.

How bad do you think it is? You reckon it will get worse quick ?
Its not bad, but it definitely does look like you are starting to recede. Considering that hair loss is genetic and that your dad lost all his hair young, it is likely your hair will continue receding aggressively over the next few years if you don't treat it. I suggest you get it confirmed by a dermatologist that you have male pattern baldness, and see if you can get on finasteride.

male pattern baldness. Looks like your crown is going too.

Well, if it gets anymore aggressive I’m just going to shave it all off, luckily I can grow a beard, beats staying of finasteride all my life

Im sorry, i was very drunk when i posted that message.. your Crown is fine but your hairline has receded a little. Do NOT shave yet, you likely still have years of hair left. Also, finasteride isn't as bad as people make it out to be. The worst case senario is you get reversible side effects or it doesnt work.

haha that’s okay dude, it’s a dangerous game being on here drunk haha, yeah I’m currently using caster oil and demaroller for now and let’s see if that slows the process down, propecia is always an option... just not at 21 if you know what I mean ... hahah

No sides on finasteride and no sides on oral minoxidil

How did yo know it wasn't working for you? Did you start shedding? I'm 11 days on finasteride rn and last shower I had, my shedding was through the roof. Both hands were covered in hairs.

I got sides with finasteride at 21, erection issues after 1 month. Stopped taking them & everything returned to normal pretty much. Still beware
