Hi, I am a 17 year old boy with no family history of balding becides one uncle who started thinning at 40. I have always had a "high forhead" but im pretty sure my hairline is going and im losing a very large amount of hair a day (like 100-300). My scalp itself is also VERY painful and itchy with very harge amounds of scab like things and dead skin falling out and i have tryed both perscribed and over the counter shampoo to fix it. I have been to a derm for this and they are not sure whats going on and are going to take a sample in like a month. But back to the hair, almost every strand has big white things on the root. Here are some pics. Thanks for any responces.

yeah your hairline looks receded. Maybe you have some sort of inflammation on your scalp. You might also want to consider that you had a great-relative who suffered from male pattern baldness. Genes are really unpredictable and you may got the short end of the stick on this.

It is common to have a more V shaped hairline as you get older. This is all it looks to be at this time especially with the thickness. It is very rare for a male to have absolutely no recession. This does not mean it is male pattern baldness. Your crown area is fine. I would say to just monitor it.
