Mate I think you look 100% natural.

Is there any sign of miniaturisation?

Man you're not going bald. Stop being paranoid.

Dude, don't lie to this guy. It is clear he came on here for support.

Tactical, get on every drug in Finfighter's link and FAST. You're well on your way to an NW7. I give it a year.

Haha, well thank you for the replies, regardless if they're in jest...and no, I'm not being paranoid. And like I said, while I understand that it's not a severe case, if I'm noticing thinning in the front and there's the shape of recession on the sides, then shouldn't I put stop to it by using SOME form of treatment? I plan on picking up Nizoral today because I do experience flaking in the summer, and it's supposed to be good for treating hair loss, but would Rogaine benefit me as far as getting more volume up front, as well as possibly regrowing back some of the hairs on the side, kind of getting rid of that curved "M" shape my hair line makes?

Would there be anything negative to happen if I started using Rogaine Max. Strength without consulting a derma?

People throw around the term 'mature hairline' fairly frequently around here, far too often in my view but then I'm quite aggressive about catching hair loss early as opposed to being conservative.

With that in mind though, this to me is a perfect example of a hairline maturing. His hairline has probably regressed slightly and he has loss a little triangle area from both sides of the hairline, but he isn't balding, it's just the hairline taking shape as he has gotten a little older.

Keep an eye on it, but I personally don't think you need to start any form of treatment as the moment.

If there's somewhat of a chance of the hairline regressing even further, and the fact that my grandfather has noticeable recession and frontal thinning, never mind the fact that my uncles have extreme thinning and hair loss on top of their head, wouldn't Rogaine put a halt to any further loss?

Assuming you have MBP, then no. Rogaine is a growth agent, it regrows lost hair but it doesn't actually address the cause of the problem, that is it has no effect on DHT levels (unlike Propecia).
