I'm 20 and don't have a family history of mpb. -

Notice the little flecks of hair at the front of my hairline - that's what throws me off about that diagnosis. Although I notice my hair looks kind of similar on the sides too which is what the hair specialist pointed out. When my hair's thicker, it looks normal but I usually have to get some of the little flecks of hair at the edge of my hairline cleaned out. They grow back the same every single time they're cut. -
My hair's been like this 2 years, and it was diagnosed as alopecia areata because I have similar weak patches of hair in areas that aren't typical of mpb. I went to another hair specialist and he didn't see anything suggesting mpb. The pattern hasn't changed or spread since I first noticed it, but it still looks suspect to me and I haven't seen a picture of alopecia areata that looks like what I have - most of the them have straight-up bald patches. Do you think I should get another opinion on this?

18 and not much of a history of balding. Almost all of the middle aged and older men in my family have nothing worse than receding temples or ultra-mature hairlines. No horseshoe heads.

Why does the area feel thinner than the rest of my hair then?

Less Flash

My crown hair feels thin, wimpy and tender: The flash makes it look a little worse than it actually does, but it's something. What do you think?

What about from other angles? Top view: Hairline

Another picture: When combed:

I've noticed that my crown is somewhat thinner than the rest of my hair, but I feel like I can remember it being this way somewhat for a while: My family also doesn't have much of a history of MPB, a few men on my dad's side get indents in their 40s, but that's the extend of it. Does it look like MPB?
