Long story short, I'm 37 and trying to deal with this balding issue.
I've debated on a buzz cut, but I have pale skin (despite the pics). I also have roughly 7 cherry angiomas that I've seen on my scalp. They're not raised, but the flat kind, however they're cosmetically unsightly and make me feel self conscious.
My wife doesn't want me to do either because she says I have a big head, and no facial hair grown at the moment. Admittedly I'm overweight and I think a buzz or bald would be bad, but I don't know what to do. What do you guys think?

Shave your head and give it a try for 30 days.
Then is time to decide ;)

Those angiomas don’t look as bad as you think. We’ve all got blemishes of some sort. Can anything be done about them?
The reality is you’re going to lose more hair eventually and they will be exposed, so don’t let them stop you from shaving.

buzz and hit the gym. You'll up your game fast!

Go for a shjort buzz, certainly better than now

I'm going to give you a different option. Don't shave your head! I don't think you want to, and have raised some valid reasons. Maybe just experiment with a shorter style first. I'm not sure why the idea of shaving bald has entered your head, but it surely sounds like you're trying to talk yourself out of it.
-
it comes down to what you want to do. If your asking what we would do, we have already chosen to shave, so we would shave in your situation. But many guys in your situation choose progressively shorter haircuts. If you like a short buzz, you will likely also like shaved, but it may take some time to get there.

good advice. buzz to a 3, 1, 0 and take it from there. You'll look a hundred times better than what you got now.

Given your apprehension it would be best to start slowly, cut your hair shorter and work up to a buzz cut. At the same time consider growing a beard if that is something you want to try to give yourself options. The spots are not a big deal in my opinion, we all tend to make a bigger deal over subtle blemishes. Good Luck

I would definitely look into going shorter. The current look is doing you no favors, IMO
-
Sent you asked for my opinion I’ll give you my honest opinion.
I don’t care if you’re overweight I don’t care what you think about your head shape in those little cherry angiomas are no big deal but your current haircut is like a 20 foot billboard screaming “look at me I am a victim of hair loss!”
Why do you want to be a victim? Take control, shave your head, yeah become a new billboard that says ; “ i’m a confident guy takes control and chooses this hairstyle!”
Like all of us at first it will seem shocking, but you owe it to yourself into your wife to abide by the 30 day rule and keep it shaved for 30 straight days give your brain and your wife time before perform a new mental image of you of yourself.
If you do this I think you’ll find like many of us have that the act of taking control in there looking good will give you the confidence that you need to make any other changes you need in your life if you want to lose weight you’ll be able to lose weight if you want to hit the gym you’ll be able to hit the gym, etc. but you owe it to yourself to do this for yourself

Just shave it all. It will grow back to a buzz very quickly if you don’t love it and shave again! I’ve been BBC Bald By Choice for over 9.5 years and love it. I still had most of a full head of hair when I shaved it the first time at sixty years old. Since then I decided twice to let mine grow out. The first time after about six months bald, I couldn’t stand the “hair up thair” after about two weeks. The second time, after being bald for about nine years, I didn’t even last a week before I slicked it.
If you really want to grow some hair, GROW A BEARD!

I think you look just fine as you are, honestly. But if you are not happy with it just cut it and see how it feels. It will grow back quickly anyway so don't worry.
The little red things are a non-issue, they are unique anyway and your head size is normal so put all those thoughts out of your head!

Wow, thanks for all the responses guys.
I'm not going to go full sly yet, but after reading what a lot of you have to say, I think my best move is to grow my beard out once again so it is nice and full. Then in a couple months I'm going to go with a buzz sort of haircut, probably with a 3 guard.
I think that may be my best option.

There was lots of good feedback here today. I say grow some facial hair cut it shorter then shorter and ease into a new look.
