Default Is this MPB?

I'm on a series of harsh medications for Crohn's disease and I'm not sure if I have MPB or medicine related hairloss, or both.

I noticed my hairline is receded a bit, but it has been that way for 4 years now (since I was 18). However the top and sides are way thinner.

The area here in red for example is a lot thinner than the hair behind it.



The lighting is actually hiding some of the thinning, but you can see it in the sideburns. But I assure you the whole area in red is probably 50% thinner than the area just to the left of it.

I've never seen side thinning with MPB so I'm unsure what to do.

Im sure other people are more qualified than me but I dont think side thinning has anything to do with MBP. I would see a doctor.

IT sure seems like it pal, I'm also thinning on my right side. Try to see a hair specialist.
