Please help

I can't decide if I'm balding or just horribly paranoid. I am a 19 year old male, and although my hairline has receded slightly its nothing major, I'm sure its just matured. Anyway, I've always had these bumps on the top of my head, one across region G and one small one around region H. I've always kept my hair short, mainly a number 1 haircut but as my hair regrows this time I have realised that in the area of my bumps my scalp is much more visable. I'm worried this is MPB or is it just the shape of my head thats causing this. In my fear I have started taking 5mg of biotin :)

also, if it helps, My mums father has a full head of hair at the age of 80, her brother still has hair, my fathers dad is bald, but both my father and his brother have a full head of hair. All my older brothers have a full had of hair with 1 having receeded hairline

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just looking at your photos it's hard to say. The Biotin shouldn't be a problem but the best way to tell if you're balding that we've come up with is to do a miniaturization test. There are links at the top of every page here that describe how to do your own tests.
