I used to have dreads, but they were in pretty bad condition, and I always wore them in a ponytail. I cut them 11 months ago and noticed this thin spot. I went to a dermatologist, who said my hair follicles looked healthy and that I shouldn’t be experiencing male pattern baldness. However, the word “shouldn’t” has me worried, and I’m wondering if I should see a different dermatologist.

Hi everyone, I’m 21 years old and I’m dealing with a thinning spot around the crown. I used to have locs, but I cut them about seven months ago after noticing the thinning. I recently saw a dermatologist, who diagnosed a fungal infection as the cause. I’d like to hear your thoughts and whether you think there’s a good chance I can regain full thickness.
