I am 28 female, suffering from AA for 14 years, diagnosed for 4 years. I have been taking contraceptive pills to block it since then. Minoxidil was recommended to me by my doctors as well however I did not want to take it at first. Since my condition is getting worse (type 2 in Ludwig scale), I am considering the minoxidil treatment. Is minoxidil recommended for women who did not have children yet? What shall I do when I want to have kids in future (stop minoxidil, which will cause hair fall again?)

Actually most of the patients suffer from hair loss complain about oily skin, scalp and hair. That leads to them think about oily skin causes hair loss. But it is not true . there is no relation between hair loss and oily skin .
