Is this hairloss?

My mom's side of the family has had some hairloss, so im afraid id be going through the same. I'm 18 and here are some pictures of my hairline, what do you think?

Use Rogaine foam, you have very minor loss if any. Propecia should be considered too

Thanks for the current advice, does this foreshadow any future balding?

It's impossible to tell for sure where the hair loss will end up. You say there is a family history of hair loss so it's good that you are addressing it now. Could just be that your hairline is maturing. Keep in mind that if you start Rogaine and/or Propecia it's pretty much a lifetime commitment.

Most guys on here would do ANYTHING for your hair!! Although the pics aren't the best, from what I see your hair is great! If you have any doubts, start Finasteride.

The reason this scares me is that at the very front of the hairline, you can see small thin hairs, which are really flaming my paranoia. Also I went to one dermatologist and she perscribed some zinc and vitamins. Should i consult another doctor? And about the family history, all of the men in my mom's side are balding in one way or the other, my mom's father had balding, and my two uncles. However on my dad's side it's the exact opposite, all have hair with the worst being vertex baldness at old age. And are there any rogaine alternatives? because lifelong commitments at this uncertainty are just too much of a risk....

Johny, I think those short thin hairs are what is left of your juvenile hairline. You are at the age where a male starts getting his V shaped mature hairline.
