Am i balding? Just turned 21 (male)

[Ramazan]

So, as far as i know, and was told, i've always had fine thin hair, but last year i experienced a severe shedding when i was on vacation! I used to shed 1500-200 hairs per day, but please note that i used Nizoral 2% almost everyday for like 1½ month, due to severe dandruff condition.

After vacation i realized that i was able to see through my hair under normal light as well as sunligt, so i freaked out so i cintacted a dermathologist, who didn't seem to be "commited to the case". She told me that i should start using rogaine (regaine her in EU), so I did along with some capsules (Arcone tisane plus). I have now used them for like 1 month and my shedding is far less significant then earlier now i shed around 20 hairs max after shower (before it was 150-200). But now when i think about it my shedding was far more insignificant after i was threatened for severe dandruff as well as dandruff-related allergy. So could it be that my shedding was connected with the dandruff? Was it stupid of me to start using rogaine (regaine)?

when i look at some pictures, taken for 2 months ago, it dosen't lokk like i'm going bald? Buw now i have longer hair around 2 cm, and when i style it with wax i can see my scalp on top if i use a mirror. I'm sorry for the long post but i'm scared and damn confused. Every single man in my familiy is bald and my mom has REALLY thin hair she a milder form of alopecia. So yeah i know i WILL get bald at some point, but how does it look right now?

i wouldn't think you were balding by any stretch of the imagination. Likely the wax makes your hair look thin since you have short hair and it makes all your hair stand up straight, allowing light between the hair. I'm sure if you grew your hair a little longer, used wax, and combed you hair in any direction, it would no longer appear thin. Your young so I can't speak for your future, but no one would look at you and say you're losing your hair. It's also possible the wax max hair strands bind together, creating an unnatural separation showing your scalp. I would say no need to worry for now.
