A member asked:
What could be causing hair thinning on top? used to take antipsychotics antidepressants benzodiazepines? also dealing with male pattern baldness sides
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dermatologist: It is certainly possible that your hair loss on top is a part of your described male pattern baldness. It can happen at your age. However, an examination of your scalp and pattern of hair loss would be best to determine if there are any other explanations. A dermatologist is most often the best person to see though some primary care doctors are comfortable evaluating hair loss.
