Will I fully recover from TE or do I have AGA? How long can it take to recover from TE? Do certain areas grow faster?

Asked By:edmonton2017 in Edmonton, AB

Suffered from acute telogen effluvium summer of 2016 from taking minocin. Lost hair all throughout scalp. Regrowth in some areas mostly top and towards front. No bitemporal recession. Noticeable low density in random areas (unsymmetrical) on left rear side close to whorl & whorl & top & line b/w temporal parietal lobes. Family history indicates no males have AGA although maternal grandmother and her sisters possibly have AGA (brother of grandmother has none). Recently turned 21.

5 months on Minoxidil and 50 days Finasteride.
Sara Wasserbauer, MD - Account Suspended says:

It really takes a good 11-12 months on hair therapy to see results, so it is too early to tell if your treatment plan is working. Your description of shedding 20-50 hairs per day is well within the normal limits of daily hair shedding.  If you are concerned, a full evaluation by a hair loss...
