16 year old who is increasingly getting more stressed and generally more upset about hair recession.
Always have had anxiety and always been quite stressed.
Recently (July 15 this year) been taking isotretinoin.
Noticed some hair recession approx late April /early May this year.
Making me depressed and down and very worried.
Can anyone answer the question and give me some tips? What's the approx age year I'll be bald?
Thanks

Okay thanks. Honestly it's causing me great distress. Like honestly, I don't mind recession. But Its coming to a point that I don't like.
I can't believe it's happening this young.
I can only hope it's just maturing and a wonky hairline
Any tips on (if I do have male pattern baldness) on keeping it or slowing down the progress - obviously medication free, if you can?

I am sure it would not recede much in 2 years as you have thick hairs at temples(no thinning). So i guess don't worry for about it untill you are 18..then you can consider medication if it was male pattern baldness. As far as male pattern baldness, nothing can stop it other than real prescribed medicines (vitamins..crap..crap doesn't work untill you are deficient).

How’d you look as a kid?
I've got pictures but it doesn't make it clear what my head line looked like.
When examining I can only notice pretty much slight recession but I always seemed to. Of had higher temples in pictures from when I was like 8-10. Honestly can't say muxh
