Balding Spots on Both Sides of Head

The hair on both sides of my head is quite a bit thinner than on the top. I’m 20 right now and I buzz my hair to a half inch every once in a while and just in the last year i started noticing really bare spots on both sides, but no problems on top… is this some weird sort of balding pattern or could it be caused by how much i wear hats? I am kind of stumped by it because i’ve never heard of the side balding before the top so any help would be appreciated.

Hats do not cause balding. You need to be evaluated. Get your hair mapped out for miniaturization to determine what is happening to you. You need to see a good doctor to do this properly. Get a diagnosis and stop guessing. You have too much to lose. Sorry I can’t provide more information, but without seeing the loss you’re talking about, there’s not much else I can do.
