Hello, I'm a bit new to thinking about hair loss, but earlier last month, I slicked my hair back and saw that the corners of my hairline looked huge, and considering my family history (Maternal grandfather was probably a Norwood 3.5/4 the day he died, only uncle on my mom's side is an Norwood 4 at age 54, he slowly grew into it from his late 20s. My father was probably a Norwood 2, maybe a little past that, but unfortunately, he passed away at age 29, so no further loss could be seen if it were to happen. I know very little of my paternal grandfather and uncles, as I've had absolutely no contact with them since he passed. There is no major diffuse thinning nor is there crown thinning in any part of my mother's side. Just a few oversized foreheads
)
I'm 21 years old, I've educated myself decently in hair loss and treatments, and I have a dermatologist that takes her practice very seriously, so If my hair seems problematic I'm sure I'll be able to easily start finasteride. I've kept it longer, though, since I was 15 years old, so I haven't really been able to notice much change between then and now

Here's a few pictures from last month. I don't really know what to think of them, other than the fact that I have a decent amount of little hairs around my hairline. The right side worse looking, so I included a closeup of that side.
Warning: The pictures are very large.
