I Don't Know If I Am Balding And Need Some Help

[Cash Carti]

I am 18 years old and have been losing a lot of hair. The hair at my temples are not receding and there is mainly one spot at the back of my head which is losing a lot of hair (but my hair is very thin overall). I don't know if I am balding or if it is another issue.

Part your hair down the middle all the way down to the back when it’s wet. If the part line is the same all over, you’re good. If it’s bigger in the back, you’re balding

Do you mean multiple parts that goes from one side of my head to the other side. Like left to right instead of front to back?

This definitely doesn't seem normal. How long has this been going on for?

Has anything significantly stress inducing/traumatic happened to you in the last year or so?

You should really go see a good dermatologist.

Edit: And what is that white stuff dotted around in your hair in the last pic? Are they flakes? Do you have seb derm?

Part it from the front of your head all the way to the back where it’s buzzed. Then take a pic of the parts bigger in the back then it’s thinning

I live in Canada so it takes a very long time to get a dermatologist appointment, I've been going to many family doctors and they're not sure what's going on. Also, I'm pretty sure the white stuff in that picture is just the cotton from the hoodie that got stuck in my hair; however, I do notice small white flakes falling from my hair when I comb but its not dandruff for sure.
