I'm a 16 year old boy and my hair is thinning! What are some possible causes? (Photo)

bucketoflard
Alright, a few months ago my mom pointed out that hair on the top of my crown was thinning. I decided to take a photo of it and sure enough it was thinning. I looked online and it said that it might be male pattern baldness but I do not have a receding hairline. For the past few years I have been using mousse in my hair, can that be the reason. I have stopped using it now and I have been applying coconut oil for regrowth. What are some possible causes? Please dont just tell me to consult a dermo
