What Is Going On With My Hair Recently?

I've noticed the past few months my hair loss has accelerated. I first noticed some temple recession about 3.5 years ago but it's been slow and confined to just that one area. But as of around May or June of this year it's gotten quicker, and I've even began noticing some thinning up top with increased shedding. It's been a stressful few months, so maybe it's a sudden bout of Telogen Effluvium combined with my preexisting male pattern baldness? Or am I diffuse thinning as well? I've also been growing my hair out, so maybe it's just exaggerating it? What do you guys think?

Those pictures suck. Better to take pictures from all angles. To answer your question yes you are receding, only slightly and are still a Norwood 1. You have male pattern baldness and the best thing you can do is jump on finasteride

Yeah the male pattern baldness and recession is no surprise, but is that also why I can see my scalp more? I chose these photos because they're the only ones which you can see some scalp like what I see in the mirror.

It could be, but without now and baseline pictures of the top of your head and crown its impossible for me to tell you. If you think your hair density is thinner then theres a chance you could be diffuse thinning too.

Sure, here are some pictures of the top. My hair is longer now, as you can tell by it parting in the middle. I can't tell if the more visible scalp is due to this long length or I'm really diffuse thinning.

It looks like you may be thinning at the crown after all. I would jump on propecia ASAP if you want any hopes of saving what you got

Do you think it's the crown thinning or more of a diffuse type thing? Also, if I were to hop on the big 3 any chance I could regrow everything?

Bruh you make threads like this like once a month. You're obviously concerned about your hair just get on finasteride already.
