Hi,

A few months ago I suddenly got many gray hairs on the sides of my head, and since I am only 25 years old that kind of scared me. This week I used a mirror to shave the hairs in my neck. This way I noticed something that looked like a bald spot on the crown of my head, although I can't tell for sure. Some baldness does run in the family, but it seems like it only sets in around ~40 and it does not start at the crown of the head. Am I just imagining things or am I really going bald up there? Some input is really appreciated

cheers,
Mark

It looks like a normal hair whorl to me but with MPB you never really know. If you are concerned, the best thing you could do is monitor your situation - perhaps take pictures after every couple of months and then compare.

Thanks a lot kristena, I will do that!

Just to make sure, does anyone have a different opinion?

Yeah, perfectly normal cowlick imho.
Just check it now and then for receding or thinning and you'll be fine.

for($hair=0; $hair<100000; $hair++) {
echo $hair;
}

That's exactly how mine started, on the first picture you can see the cowlick, that's what I thought too, it's nothing, then in a year it progressed into massive thinning, back then I thought I still had 5-3 years until it became noticeable, how off I was. I'm not trying to be negative or scare you, it could really be nothing but it could also be the start so do check if it progresses further.

looks fine.

Thanks a lot everyone, I hope you are right I will keep an eye on it during the next few months just to make sure it doesn't change.
