Are the sides of my head thinning due to hairloss or is it normal?

[RickieL89]

I'm a 31 year old asian that has thick black coarse asian hair and my scalp and skin is pale. My hair is usually very spiky when short and turns into a bob when long. So far my crown and hairline look fine, but I was wondering if the side looks like some form of hairloss like retrograde alopecia, diffuse thinning, dupa or male pattern baldness? When my Hair grows out in the May 2020 imgur album you can see that you can't see this thinning part. When I get a haircut in the July 2020 imgur album you can see it on the side and depending on how I tilt my head and how much light is shined on it, it can appear more obvious. I also included a picture in the May 2019 album and it looks like it might have been their since last years, but I'm wondering if its growing, the same and if its normal or not.

I see your pics but I think its a normal but if you have a doubt then you can visit to the doctor having the specialist in hair transplantation, he/she provide you with the best information regarding this, but from my point of view you will keep patience and view this more and take 6 months more if it does not stop then you need hair transplantation.

Wait a second I'm a bit confused by your reply. You say its normal, but then you tell me that I might need a hair transplant. Am I losing my hair, or is this normal looking? Also one of the picture is from May 2019 and then the other pictures are taken now in July 2020. Does it looks like it has progressed or basically stayed the same?

I also already went to a hair restoration specialist back in 2018 and he told me my hair was fine. I also sent pictures to a hair clinic in early 2019 and they told me my hair looks fine and I went to see a dermatologist around April 2019 and they told me my hair was fine. From what I can see my crown looks fine and my hairline looks fine. Its just this odd side area that I'm concerned about. I thought hair on the side of the head was not supposed to thin out due to male pattern baldness.

Bro now your links are not working at that time, i say that if you think that you loss your hair again then visit to hair transplant specialist, if you think, other if you visit to the doctor and he say it is fine then it is fine my point of view is that only to consult the doctor if you have doubt regarding hair loss, if you hairs are fine and hair loss problem is not occur then you no need any treatment.

I do not think, that you get the hair loss problem, all is ok so do not worry. We all lose some hair after wash, but it does not mean that we have a hair loss problem.
