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?

Steroids are used for the treatment of alopecia areata, usually locally injected into the diseased skin directly and it usually makes it bettter, not worse
