Looks like recession and thinning to me
definitely receding but its not bad yet. If you want to keep your hair you simply have to get on finasteride because biotin and nizoral is not going to do sh!t for someone with aggressive male pattern baldness. Your frontal section will not be around long if you delay

Yeah it is very stressful to think that you're losing your hair, but being stress about it will do you more damage because, stress is one of the reason for hairloss, instead you can start looking for remedies.

Definitely male pattern baldness. I'd get on dutasteride and RU asap, or get eucapil. I love eucapil, sorry I don't mean to sound like an ad for eucapil but the stuff has zero side effects and reduces shedding. People b**ch and say well it didn't grow any hair back. The point is 1. yes it can grow hair back 2. if you would've neutralized dht at an early stage from miniaturizing the hair in the first place you wouldn't need to grow hair back all you would need to do would be maintain for the rest of your life. People say well dht isn't the problem because teens have high dht and full hair. It doesn't take a genius to understand that everything takes time. Would you be dumb enough to say smoking doesn't cause cancer because a lot of teens smoke and none of them have cancer. Well I'm pretty sure nowdays your chances of getting male pattern baldness if you are a teen are pretty high, and your chances of getting cancer if you are a teen are low if you smoke. So basically the dht continues to fubar your follicles over time that is why the earlier you stop it the better. If I would've known about eucapil or RU or even dutasteride when I was 16-19 I would've started it then. I don't think its realistic to go back to nw0 I think the best you can do is to halt the progression of hair loss and get a transplant at that point and then if you just continue to maintain you can have a Sly/Tom cruise/brad pitt hairline.

What makes it so clearly MBP? I've had a very similar if not the same hairline for as long as a can remember and I don't appear to be thinning on my crown, mostly just thinning around my temples. I play with my hair a lot and run my hair through it a lot so I was thinking that maybe that could be a reason for frontal hair loss? Along with stress, which I stress a lot. I'm 20 y/o and when I was 19, I got shingles. I don't think that's very normal haha

Dude, believe us, most of us here can spot a male pattern baldness miles away, it can becomes rather obsessional
I agree with my mates here, definitely early male pattern baldness, stress alone can't cause this thinning, or specific loss, it would be more diffuse.
If you want to be sure, go see a derm and you'll be fixed, he will certainly do a simple hair pull test, aka traction test, but piece of advice, do it ASAP, this sh*t can go pretty quick, and getting regrowth is difficult, maintaining however can be done with current treatments if you're lucky enough and don't get sides.
I know this sh*t sucks and this is difficult to face at your age, been there myself, but take care of it quickly if you really matter.
Welcome aboard, and good luck on this shitshow

The first stage is always denial lol, don't delude yourself because it might cost you more hair in the future if you don't get on treatments

You said yourself you are thinning at the temples. By definition that is male pattern baldness. Now maybe it was just by coincidence just looks like male pattern baldness but that chances of that is low. Quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, yada yada
