Can minoxidil help chronic telogen effluvium? The trigger for the CTE is difficult to remove.

Asked By:johnD635 in Charleston, SC

I'm 21 and male, diagnosed by my derm with chronic telogen effluvium. I'm aware of what it is and how it works as I've done some research. I have all of the characteristics, but even if it's somehow AGA, i still want treatment. Can I use rogaine until I get the trigger resolved? Will it work? I've had nothing but mixed advice. The trigger is difficult to address and has been present for a long time, so having my hair back in the meantime would help greatly with addressing the cause.
