Hi All,
I read through reports and some of the causes for hairloss other than DHT can be stress, fungus, malnutrition, chemical burns and others. Is there any specialist that one can visit to analyze the scalp and causes for hairloss. I don't have MPB but have general thinning on top of my scalp.

Thanks.
Nick

You can try seeing a dermatologist or a trichologist. The first is a medical doctor the second isn't.

Good luck!

Thinning on the top can be MPB. I have two people I know who have no temporal recession at all but are really thin on top all over. They aren't bald, just really thin on the top. It is MPB, but just a rarer form, I believe. A dermatologist should know.
