I started receding around 17, I'm now halfway to my 21st birthday. Could you guys tell me which Norwood level I'm at? Am I losing up front? Am I thinning all over? Keep in mind, my hair is very short, very dark, and very fine (always has been), which makes the mini confusing for me. I've included a shot of the side of my head to show the effect the flash has on shining through to the scalp. I've been using Rogaine for about a 15 months which I think is working OK, and Nizoral for 3 weeks, every third day. I've also recently become aware of a very thin area in my crown, but have only been addressing it with the Minoxidil for about 3 weeks, and it is very near my natural swirl so it looks worse, though already shows signs of getting better. It is important to note that these pictures were taken at the end of the day, two hours after my second Rogaine foam application. Unfortunately, I'm susceptible to oily hair without it, and the added texture only makes it stick together worse.
This is the side view of the hairline:

Thank you so much for any feedback!
