Asked By:plasticsurgerymaybe in Michigan, MI

I'm going to the dermatolgist tomorrow to ask about my hair, ever since about Mid January to me it's been thinning.I went like 2 months ago to a dermatologist and he just pretty much said I'm fine and didn't to any blood work or anything. I think she's going to ask if I've had any birth control changes like he did(bc it can cause hair loss) I took plan b twice this year in September and I think December, could it be from that and do I have to tell her?if so I'll have my dad wait in waiting room
