Hairline changes: Male pattern baldness is a possibility although you are very young to have that. You may be looking very closely due to concern for hair loss and seeing real or imagined changes. Another possibility is a condition called Alopecia. This is an autoimmune condition your doctor or a specialist can diagnose. Peace and good health.
