Am I Balding? A Bit Worried, Please Help. 20 Y/o Male

[Giancolo123]

Always been known to have super thick hair.. every barber would be like sheesh
now i feel like its thin man. Makes me super upset
What do you guys think? I can feel an itch on my head and usually when I grab at that area a hair or two falls out.

Bad pics. Click some under a bright light exposing your hairline and crown.

Again,not great pics. Expose your temples or hairline corners and click the picture with a bright flash just focusing on the temples. Do it for both of them. If you have a white bathroom light,it'll do the trick as well.

In the pic 8.jpg,is that your scalp or the light bouncing off your hair? I'm not so sure,but if it's scalp then I guess you're definitely thinning

I think no. Looks fine to me.

Look at the last pic that he posted just now. That's definitely thinning. Maybe diffused,I'm not so sure. But that patch is thinner than the rest.

whats weird about that though is i always wear my hair moved to the side... maybe its a way i move my hair? My hair is super coarse italian hair
i just pulled on an itchy spot on my hair and literally just pulled out like 8 hairs in a 3 inch area . what do i do

The best advise I can give you is to visit a trichologist,they are specialists in hair problems. I'm not a diffuse thinner,I'm not balding as well according to many users over here so I can't tell you what you should do to prevent the hairloss. I can identify hairloss but I cant provide the remedy for it. Wait for other users to join in,keep bumping this post to garner attention.

How can you guys claim that this guy is balding, lol. Look at how intact his temples are, and how straight his hairline is. The reason his hair looks diffused at top is because he uses flash which can make anyone look bald. I still recommend visting a derm though if you're still worried.

He's shining a damn light on his crown, of coarse scalp is going to be visible. Relax OP

You would see a thin strip of scalp if you move your hair and shine a bright light over it,not a patch of scalp.

Your hairline looks 100% fine. Only thing that look suspicious to me is in the middle of your head when you can see scalp. Could be naturally low density or maybe thinning, hard to tell.

 

[Seeker988]

Finally someone agrees with me.

 

[DoctorHouse]

If you have also had density like you have now, you are not balding.

Your hair is fantastic! No male pattern baldness. Get the f*** outta here and go comb your beautiful hair.

What's strange to me is that over the past year or more now it seems like if I have an itch on my scalp, and I pull the hair in that area sometimes a hair or two will fall out. I'm honestly going crazy thinking about this. I ordered some finasteride... when I used to go to the barber as a 15 year old kid they'd be goin crazy about how thick my hair was and seemed annoyed lol.
