Unsure If This Is Pattern Baldness? (17 M)

[TheSushinati]

Hi everyone
I’m almost 17 and for the past few months I’ve been noticing some thinning in my hair. Am I balding? Also, I’ve recently moved countries , could that be a causative factor or does it look like pattern baldness?
Thanks for the help

Hard to tell. You have dark hair and it contrasts too much with your scalp, and we need more pics.
Based on these pics I'd say you are OK.

Oh okay, would the spot on my crown not be considered a bald spot then? I’ve uploaded another picture if that helps. Thanks again

Still hard to tell. I'd keep a good log at this point. Take pics and store them for yourself on your PC. It doesn't look like much to me. Usually the hairs start getting weak and thin. Your hairs look thick and strong.
If you feel the need, post updates maybe in a month or two.

Looks like you’re thinning in my opinion.

Hey bro, if you get a chance can you check out my post. I have a similar condition but it’s much worse

I have a similar condition like yours. I wanna believe I’m thinning but I think I’m balding. But I really hope it’s thinning only. You can check my post to see what I’m talking about

Hey buddy. It’s definite thinning, the last pic shows a contrast in thickness between the sides and the top. It’s not a big deal right now though because it’s not severe. You’re smart and noticed early. Don’t panic and stress as this exacerbates the issue. For now, get Nizoral 2% and maybe check out a the cheapest Hairmax laser comb. These two should prevent further thinning until you’re 19 at which point you can start finasteride and minoxidil for the spot on the top.
