Hi guys.
my name's Igor and I am 23 and I am pretty sure I started going bald 2 years ago, but I don't know whether it's because of my genes or something else ( illness etc ). Let me start with saying I never had thick hair. I had thin, wavy hair ever since I can remember. Remember when I was 16 and I put gel on my hair, my friends told me they could see my scalp from miles away ( I used to wear my hair short too ).
My hair around that time;

Around that time I remember I went to the hairdresser who told me she could see red dots around my head ( above my ears ) and at the back. I thought it was because I did not rinse my hair correctly. Soon I got myself some nizoral and the problem seemed to disappear. Years later I decided to wear my hair slightly longer, but It was wavy so I was straightening it, putting a lot go stuff on it. 2 years ago I noticed I could see my scalp under a very bright, harsh bathroom light.I wasn't doing anything to it, but I got kinda scared so I took some pictures;

2 years later ( now ) I think my hair is even worse than It was 2 years ago and I recently realised that the red spots came back. my GP told me to use some betnovate hair solution, was using it for 2 weeks, but didn't really work. Then he told me to use the selsun shampoo for another two weeks. The redness faded, but my scalp is sometimes itchy and i have to wash my hair every day. Its fresh the day I wash it, the next day I wake up it's as greasy as If I haven't washed it in 3 days.Kinda scared I started using Nixon hair cosmetics; applicator, shampoo and scalp revitaliser and also the groganics DHT blocking shampoo. I have really sensitive skin all over my body, especially my face therefore my scalp is sensitive too.When I scratch it the white flakes appear. Also, the thing is my hair doesn't only get thin on the top, but also the sides, the back and right above my spine. I was wondering if any of you suffered from similar symptoms or know how to stop it. It's worth pointing out that my father was 50 when he died but he did not have any bald patches ( fine hair yes, but no bald patches ), my mom's father didn't have any problems either. My auntie suffers from serious hair loss, but she's a female so it shouldn't affect me, right?
My hair now. Sorry, It was greasy and I couldn't be asked to wash it lol;
