I notice that I began losing my hair around a year ago and more so in the last 6 months. I just turned 18 and both my grandparents have little to no hair on their head, although my father still has a whole head of hair at 50. I have been taking doxycycline for around a year as well but from my research, it's not connected to hair loss. Also, I've had a big forehead since birth. Im very physically active and I'm not sure if there is a connection between that either. I thought my hair could just be maturing but it does not seem like it from the looks of it. I visited a dermatologist- he was no help but recommended that I would start rogaine or propecia. I don't think propecia is a viable option for me but I'm willing to commit to rogaine. I feel embarrassed having to deal with this when everyone my age doesn't have this issue. This is my first time writing on a forum and I'm just looking for some help since no one has been giving me any. So my questions are:
1. Does my hair look like it's maturing or balding?
2. Is there a connection to hairloss from doxycycline/working out?
3. If you're on rogaine, what is your routine and how do you like it?
4. Does my hair look like it got worse?
I'm not really looking for "just shave it off and move on" answers but thanks for taking to the time to read this post.
*Also, not quite expecting to regrow hair but to maintain at least.*
