    Does retrograde alopecia mean definitely baldness?

    If a person has retrograde alopecia, does that necessarily mean they are doomed for baldness?

      Retrograde alopecia is thinning of hair in the temple, sideburn, and neck areas. Sometimes it travels around the ear. It's fairly common; you'll frequently see guys with slightly see-through temple areas. There's some discussion on this thread, with pictures:

      So, I pretty much have a full head of hair with a slight widows peak. I know my hair has thinned in some areas since I was 18 (23 now) but especially at the sides of my head? What's stranger is that the hair on the sides of my head, like right about the ear is a totally different type of hair. I mean, I can literally get at


      If you're seeing that shedding, I would guess that you'll see some traditional MPB before too long in the usual areas.
