Does it look like I'm balding? My father's side of the family has no signs of balding whatsoever. My paternal grandfather is in his 90's and still has a full head of hair. Same with my father and his brothers. My mom's side, however, does have male pattern baldness. My mom's hair is thin and all of her brothers have male pattern baldness. Her father was also completely bald before he died at 76. One of her brothers is in his mid 60s and is completely bald and the other is a Norwood 4/5 at 50.
When I was in HS, I used to notice ALOT of shedding. Like whenever I used to wakeup, my pillow would have alot of hairs. Now the shedding has stopped for a couple of years. Also, at this point, I did notice my hairline move back a bit (look at my pic when I was 16). I also feel like my left temple is alot weaker than my right temple, but when I was a little kid the hair from my left temple would also come downward, whereas the hair on my right side came out towards the back of my head (if that makes sense).
Also, I was thinking of going to a dermatologist or a hair loss specialist for a consultation. Which one would be the better choice? I always seem to hear a dermatologist recommendation more often, even though you would think a hair loss specialist would be a better choice no?
