Is my hairline receding or just maturing? 19 y/o concerned about hair loss (photos)

Question

I have seen a afair bit of hairloss in the last 12 months (approx) Age:19 Height:170cm Weight: 79kgs

It would appear there is more going on than age related maturation of the male hairline. What needs to be properly evaluated is whether there is a telogen effluvium here or androgenetic alopecia or both telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia. For this, a proper history and proper examination are needed. Please be sure to see an expert for up close examination and review of your story in full. There is more here than maturity of the hairline.

Hello and thank you for your question.  It looks as though you have something going on.  I suggest a trip to your primary physician first for some bloodwork. If that comes back good then the next stop is a dermatologist for testing.  Best of luck to you.
