I have always had fine and fairly low density asian hair. Mostly from birth as both my parents are low density. I do not know if this is how fine low density would look after an unflattering haircut or if this is a concerned look.

Recently 5 weeks after a very short haircut I decided to take some photos around my head just to see how it looked like.

Then I noticed that my sides, crown, and back region were incredibly thin to the point scalp was visible.

My hairline and temples region remain noticably unchanged but I've always had a high forehead.

I will say that I have a history and am still currently dealing with something on my scalp that causes red bumps. Probably seb derm or folliculitis. Can usually find very tiny crusts/scabs on scalp. Might affect the thinning

Balding. DUPA/retrograde possibly
I've heard about telogen effluvium, but I'm not sure if it looks like that or not? There was a physician that I consulted online which said it looked like Telogen Effluvium to him and he said he was Asian American too with fine thin hair.

If I had to use this graphic, I would say the thinning is noticable around the Parietal, Crown, and Occipital regions
