Recently caught a glimpse of my crown and am concerned that I a developing a bald spot, but could just be paranoid and its just my natural parting. I have attached a couple of pics. I am 31, my father still has a full head of hair but my mums dad was bald.

To my eye this looks like a natural parting and not hair loss.

 

Keep your eye on the crown. If you notice any thinning, taking action quickly via medical hair loss treatments will provide you the best opportunity to maintain your hair.

My vote goes to ....

 

Natural parting.

 

I say this because I really see no obvious evidence of actual miniaturization in or around the crown. Just some exposed skin next to thick, terminal, anagen hairs! Though I will admit, it is a bit difficult to tell based on this images alone. Thus, I think Dave's advice is spot on; keep an eye on it!

Almost certainly natural parting. While many people have that natural whorl, many people don't, and instead their hair separates in a sort of colick that leaves some scalp exposed. I've got an area the size of a dime where my scalp shows through, but there's no miniaturization and the area hasn't expanded at all in ten years. Worth keeping an eye on, but I think you're fine.

Yeah I agree. I don't think you've anything to worry about there.

Looks normal to me. Keep an eye on it every six months or so but try not to obsess.

At 31 years of age, you don't look like you have miniaturization in the crown. I see a natural-looking crown with healthy, natural-looking hair in it.

My opinions are my own. I am one representative of MyWHTC Clinic's European branch.
