I am a 18 year old male and have been actively looking for answers to my hair loss. Two years ago I noticed the hair on the top of my head and on the right side was noticeably thinner than the rest of my head. For two years it's been the same hasn't gotten worse and definitely hasn't gotten better. All the hair on my head is thin but only on top there is this weird thin pattern that I can't explain. I went to my doctor a week ago and he said I did NOT have male pattern baldness since my hairline wasn't receding and my crown wasn't thinning . But when I asked him what my hair loss was due to he said either stress or a diffuse alopecia for which he prescribed minoxidil 5%. I came here to see if anyone here had a similar pattern and wat they were diagnosed with. Should I trust my diagnosis? Judging by my pictures is there hope or should I just cut it bald and move on?
