My hair loss started while I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I had been on it for 6 years and noticed the thinning 9 months ago. I've been off the pill now for 5 months and the shedding and thinning has greatly increased and I'm experiencing acne on my face and all over my scalp which I never had. Is it possible that starting the pill again will fix these problems?
Will hormonal contraceptives treat hair loss?
