I'm in doubt about the norwood scale. Where am I?. I see Myself at norwood 4/5 as I have a line far back at My scalp at vertex region.
It's not Possible to see the line on the picture.

It is necessary to visit a dermatologist or a hair specialist to find out where i am on the norwood scale?. Or could i do it myself?.

You look like a Norwood 3, possibly progressing to a 4 if you are thinning in the crown.
Are you on any type of hair loss prevention regimen?

Minoxidil either topical or oral could help to regrow miniaturised hairs.
How long have you been on Finasteride?

Give it more time to work. Usually 6 months minimum. You may not see growth but it will probably be preventing more native hair loss.
