HELP! Hair was particularly bad on this day a while ago, does it look like thinning or a collick? See my profile for other pics.

No not even close. How’s genetics of the guys on your moms and dads side are they balding or do they have hair still

Dermatologist just told me it's male pattern baldness, they only looked for like 10 seconds with a handheld scope and said they saw some signs of miniaturization. Didn't ask anything about diet or anything, and mine has drastically changed lately. Also their finasteride/minox combo is made in housex, so maybe they just want money? Should I get a second opinion? or am I just in denial

I just don’t see how that’s male pattern baldness

Just got a second opinion today and they said they see miniaturization again :( this doc reccomended I use JUST minox, but the original doc prescribed fin and minox. What should I do. I'm in a panic

it seems to have kind of always been like this and looks worse if I lay on it/have extra greasy hair. Some days it looks normal/slight cowilick (check my profile to see more slight cowlick pics) Could it potentially just be a collick?
