3.5 months after quitting minoxidil help !
Hi,
my name is jeffrey and I'm 19 years old
Last september, I went to a dermatologist because i was afraid to lose my hair and I freaked because i saw that i lose some hairs (15 to 20 per day)
So , when he saw me , he saw my scalp and asked me if i have anyone who is bald in my family , I told him no (no one in my family is bald , even my grandparents and uncles from my dad and also my mom still have hair). Then he told me that I have like a localised hairloss and ordered to apply minoxidil for 3 months and then go back to see him again . during this 3 months , i haven't noticed any change and no shedding is remarked. When i saw him again he told me to reduce the application to 1ml per day for another 3 months. I did what he told me and i have ramarked that i started losing some hairs than. when I saw him again he told me that I have AGA and stop minoxidil and use a lotion called kerium for 3 months and if it doesn't work i go back on minoxidil. 2 or 3 weeks after stopping minoxidil I lost too much hair in the places where i used to apply minoxidil and some other places (the left half of my frontal hairline is more thin and also the left temple and on the top of my scalp the density is lower than before I starter using minoxidil) and the density horribly decresed . I applied that lotion called kerium for 1 month and i gave it up because it was doing noithing and i decided not to see that MD anymore cuz i suspected his competence. now it's 3.5 months since i stopped minoxidil and the situation didn't change and maybe i'm still in the post minoxidil shed . now my questions are :
Am i going to recover the healthy hair that I lost from using minoxidil (because I don t think i have AGA because i don t have a familial antecedent)?
How long should I wait?
Did my Md intended to cure my hairloss using minoxidil in short-term? Does that mean that I don't have AGA and I present another disease ?
What do you think of my case?
Thank you for responding
