    Default Please read guys.

    I'm 23 and I've never had hair loss until I mistakenly used 5% Minoxidil in my hair. I didn't know how it worked and never thought it would make me lose most my hair in 6 months. I thought it was just healthy for your hair and since I'm always using different products in my hair i decided to try it, oh i wish i could reverse time. I used it off and on in May for 3 weeks and it wasn't constant, maybe a total of 12 days, twice a day. Just rubbed it in like gel. I noticed my hair thinning and falling out then I stopped using it for good. Its been 6 months and my hair still falls out. I see my scalp so easily when wet. My hairline has receded but before my hairline was fine or maybe it looks like it since the whole top of my head is so thin. I added a picture of the top of my head showing what its done and 2 pics of myself before I used minoxidil. Just 6 months ago I had a full head of thick hair, now Ive lost half of my hair, its so thin. I've been to doctors and a dermatologist and they were no help. I'm scared I've damaged my hair for good. I think I have telogen effluvium and now I feel like I'm going to lose it all. Will my hair grow back or will I continue to thin and go bald? I'm losing long and small hairs. Any advice would be great. I really want a hair transplant.
