If you have a receeding hairline AND your skin in your head is red you may NOT be balding.

My hairline was f’ed up. Really f’ed up. But my head also hurt a bit when I pulled it slightly and I had redness in my head. I went to a dermo and it turns out a severe allergy to dustmites. The only apparent symptom I can feel is these things. I got it sorted out and my hairline is almost completely back. So yeah the most important thing is to always go to your dermo as other things may be causing it!
