Thinning crown possibly?

[Fireman123]

Hi guys noticed some
thinning I think k did compare to pictures 5 years ago and doesn't really look different . I am a 25 year old male what u guys think ?

- - - Updated - - -

These were taken yesterday and hair was recently buzzed ... As I said I compared it to when it was buzzed even shorter and that spot has been thin always so hopin its just what my hair looks like

- - - Updated - - -

Wet hair

Yes, a little. It's really not that bad but you know for sure you are balding. It is progressive although unpredictable, no one knows how quick it can move on.

My advice: start on Finasteride only. If after one year you are not happy you can add Minoxidil but I don't think it will be necessary, for now.

I compared these pictures to ones from 5 years ago and it looks the same always thin in that area when longer can't tell I'm wondering if its just a swirl or whatever they are called haha maybe denial my wife doesn't think it has changed much if any from pics when I'm 21 ... Have a few white
hairs come up latly to but have had a stressful year as well if that matters

- - - Updated - - -

That is also the shortest
blade height on shaver without going right down with just blade

CCould it not just natural be like that and not
be thinning ?

My hair grows very fast as well

Are you sure its the same as 5 years ago? It may be worth sharing the pictures online for a more objective eye.

Looks like classic male pattern baldness. In fact, I lost my hair in exactly the same pattern. Stress will not have made any difference to your hair.

The good news is that your hair still looks decent, although if you leave it for a couple of years you may regret it. I would research finasteride

 

[zzzzz]

start finasteride, maybe minoxidil too

 

[Fireman123]

I'll post tonight when I'm home but yea doesn't look much different same with temples which I thouhht were receding a bit

- - - Updated - - -

No way this is a whorl? I have never had thick hair when short esepecislly longer I have never really noticed ... What about on my temples ... Can take more pics if need be ... Should I try rogain if so how long ? I have also been usin head and shoulders my entire adult life

There's no way for any of us to know for sure just by looking at a few pictures. I'm on the fence about whether or not it's balding because the crown is usually the thinnest area even for children, but it's too tough to tell. Could be the camera flash, the angle of the head tilt, the lighting in the room, etc. All of those things can exacerbate the look of balding. If your hair was longer, it might be easier to tell if there's a gaping hole in the back of your head. Unfortunately, none of us can know for sure. I wouldn't be wise to jump directly on treatment without consulting a specialist first, and no we on here -- as much as some would like to think they are -- are NOT specialists. Good luck

[zzzzz]

you're balding dude we don't need more pics. That's obviously male pattern baldness on the crown

 

[Fireman123]

Im in denial I guess hsha I swear it looks the same from years ago

 

[TD500]

If it has been the same for years then be thankful your at a snails pace for balding.

 

[Fireman123]

I'm goin off my opinion pictures speak for them selves I guess I'll post the one that shows it Bejng pretty barren when shaved right down from 4.5 years ago when I'm home ... Hard to swallow at 25 if it is and no family history at this age

- - - Updated - - -

Also can be itchy at top and back from tIme to
time

- - - Updated - - -

Here are slme
pics shaved right down these are 4.5 years old note the first pic

 

[hmm]

It's really not that bad just some thinning in the crown, if you're worried or if it's getting worse jump on finasteride and you're good for at least 5-10 years+. Hopefully by then they'll finally have something figured out...

 

[Fireman123]

Yep I def will im not rushing into anything just consulting advice from ppl on here before k deal with some quack doctors hhaha I just am unsure if it has thinned muchin last 4
yesrs as the Pics kinda show but when someone says oh bald spot I went into survival mode haha

- - - Updated - - -

u don't think you need anything? I guess not if you don't care about your hair. But you are going to be completely bald in a few years probably. I would start soon

I care about the reproductive side effects and regular side effects of the treatment for something i may or may not need have a apointment booked came here for some advice take it

I personally think your hair looks a fair bit worse in newer pictures. The hairline has stayed put but the hair looks more diffuse. Many of us here have balded in the same way and it's really sneaky, I was in denial for a long time.

Just keep informed of your options and keep documenting pictures of your hair in the same conditions. Your hair may stay like it is, but it's unlikely imo.

 

[Fireman123]

I dunno close
up on those real short
pics look at the sparseness in same area I have no shedding as wel

- - - Updated - - -

Def will be keeping an eye on it

My dad started losing hair on vertex at 25, his 53 now and although his scalp has thinned a little his hairline and scalp still have sufficient amount off hair. I'd wait 6 months if I were you and take pictures every week to review your hair.
