Possible Hairline Recession, Or Just Maturation?

[bigkilla99]

Hi everyone, just wanted some input on what might be going on, if anything, with my hairline. For the past maybe 5 years or so, I've been getting a few hairs in my hands when I shampoo my hair in the morning, maybe like 4-10 max. In the evenings after I work out or something there's usually just like 1 or 2. I've always had a high hairline and a M shape, but I'm not sure if my temples are getting worse and my hair is pushing back further. Those little hairs around my hairline don't look very promising lol
My thinking is either I'm balding, or my hairline is just maturing from an already high point. My dad has a very a high hairline as well, but still has a lot of his hair (he's 70). My brother has similar hair to me. Grandpa is bald but he's in his 90s. My drivers license from is from 2014 and the one I got a few days ago looks basically the same. Anyhow.. here are my temples pulled back. When I sweat a lot my widows peak does look pretty thin, but that might just because of the haircut (as that is a very recent thing that I never noticed until I got my haircut recently). Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
Oh I should add that I've been worried about balding for 3 or so years.. so the fact that I still looks basically the same makes me think its mostly in my head.

Actually, you have thinning to the temporal points; slowly to the point you aren't aware of it.

But what about the hairline? Temporal points aren't too concerning I feel. Unless its indicative of something else

The hairline has miniaturization as well.
0.5mg finasteride or we're both screwed.

I'm NW2 at 20yrs old.

Are there side effects to Finasteride? Did it help you?

There is a risk of side effects, not side effects. I will be beginning finasteride in a weeks time, I have no time to ponder about alternatives as there aren't any quite yet.

Take action now, off-putting this will not end in our favor. Do not write it off as " I think it's always been that way" clearly if there's concern; it's for good reason.

2-3 yrs on finasteride is ideal, there should be something out better by then.

It recession dude, seriously. Denialism, will earn you a worser position than you can already handle. Let be frank here, you've seen early recession before, no need for my images to confirm things to you.

Is there any basis for that green line? Looking at pictures from over 3 years ago, my hair was definitely not at that point.
