Hey guys, what's up?

So I was diagnosed last summer with male pattern baldness (a doctor who is family's friend). I have been thinning since my 18's (now 22). I started my treatment with proscar 1 quarter everdy day (since september until now). Nothing actually happened, no sides but no improvement. I haven't had a special strong shedding (which is supposed to happen in most casses). My hair is just thinner day after day. Reading more on the internet I just payed atention to the CTE, which I already know about its existence but never cared about it, I just assumed mine is male pattern baldness.

Nevertheless, reading about this condition just realised that some "features" are happening to me. For example, my hair line has been the same fo the last for years. I have temple recession, but I measured it last years and hasnt go further. Also, my hair is thin all over the head, speacially in the parieta zone (crown area). I'll just add pictures:

You can see that sides of my head are abnormally thin, my back is also, but I couldnt take a decent picture.

So, what are your thoughts guys? The ****ing hair loss is destroying my self steem.

PS: I also would like to add that my hair smells bad just 24 hours after washing it and I have some itch when I excercise or not whas it for more than 36/48 hours (for example, a lazy sunday that I stay at home).

Are these photos taken in bright light or with flash?Lights can be harsh and expose more scalp.

That thinning on the sides looks like textbook Chronic Telogen Effluvium. I've got the exact same thing (confirmed by a dermatologist). I've had the same crappy density for a little over 2.5 years.
