Is this a matured hairline or early male pattern baldness? (25, male, caucasian) (photos)

Asked By:newdelhinewyork in New York, NY

Hi! I'm a 25 y/o with a Norwood 2 hairline (I think). I haven't noticed any above average shedding, have baldness on my mother's side (grandpa and uncle) but full hair on father's side. Due to this, I'm nervous. Does my hairline look normal? Do you think I have MPB or it's just my matured hairline? My hair was a little lower in high school but now hasn't changed for a while. I don't have any reason to worry except genetic predisposition. Any thoughts are appreciated!!

Answer: Maybe it is early genetic balding or maybe it is maturing hair line. You really cannot confirm a diagnosis with photos.
