    thinning or loss of hair at the crown area

    Vertex Hair Loss, also known as Crown Hair Loss or Vertex Baldness, refers to the thinning or loss of hair at the top of the head, specifically around the crown area. This type of hair loss is commonly associated with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) and is often one of the first areas where hair thinning becomes noticeable.

      The user noticed small circular hairless spots after a buzz cut and has been using finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil for hair loss. They are experiencing continuous shedding and thinning, and it is suggested they consult a dermatologist for a scalp examination and possible biopsy to determine if it's alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia.

      A user with aggressive male pattern baldness found that topical melatonin significantly reduced their hair shedding to 1 or 2 hairs per day and noticed some thickening of side hair. They tried many treatments like finasteride and minoxidil with little success, but topical melatonin showed immediate results in reducing hair loss.
