Really concerned, am I balding? 26m

Going bald is always something I worried about, due to the fact I don’t feel like I’ve much going on appearance wise so being bald would shoot my little confidence to bits. I’ve always had a high hairline but it never seem to go back any further, the thing is it’s not my hairline that’s concerning, it’s the fact I can see my scalp in various places under light, I just happened to take a picture with the flash and that’s when I noticed it. What do you think? Is it just because it’s short or should I be concerned? The pics below were taken with flash and my hairs a bit greasy from working.

Yes, to me looks like a NW1 or NW1.5 max. But you are in the beginning of the balding process.

I suggest you to go to a dermatologist/tricologist and consider his opinion.
But I think you probally will need to use finasteride to retard the baldding process.

Hopeful you can maintain this hairline, thats still good.
Good lucky.

It might be thinning at the crown, like @DuncanOP said, you should see a dermatologist to be sure, this is very minor hair loss, you caught it very early and finasteride alone should maintain your hair.

I’m glad in a way to have someone agree. My missus told me there’s nothing wrong with it and someone on another forum asked me am I trolling lol the thing is I can’t see these problems without a flash, I’m sorry I ever took the damn picture because now I’m obsessed

Looks pretty good to me, like a dense NW1. Go to a dermatologist if you're worried about it. How's your family history? Do you have any relatives with hair loss?
