I'm 17, and I've noticed bald areas on my scalp around 4 months ago. I consulted a dermatologist as a result. He took a biopsy of my scalp and did some blood tests. He said that it definitely was not genetic and was instead, caused by the inflammation of my scalp. He gave me an antibiotic and special lotion to treat the inflammation.
Thing is I'm really paranoid, and after looking at some photos online, I can't shrug off the thought that my case may in fact male pattern baldness. I was sort of hoping on hearing some opinions on whether I have male pattern baldness or not.



Also, if the inflammation is the cause of my hair loss, and it is cured, will my hair grow back?
I have an appointment with my doctor in 3 days and I will be notifying him of my concerns, but I wanted to hear opinions from other people.
