Hair return from discontinuation of Minoxidil shed if I stop just after 3 weeks?

August 17, 2017
Asked By:Bill H. in Detroit, MI

I started minoxidil to try regaining hair on my bald spot on my crown. But instead I had hair thin out where my hair was full. I have some thin lines going down my head. Not what I wanted. I stopped minoxidil just under a month in because it made me uncomfortable. My question is will my hair return where it was before I started and the lines fill back in this soon after starting and stopping?
