Asked By:Pioneering3019 in Egypt, EG

I'm a 22 year old. I'm diagnosed with chronic Telogen Effluvium. My hair has been falling out for 5 years. I was recently checked with a dermoscope and I got my bloodwork done, all came back normal (except for low hemglobin which is being treated for a month now) and I was diagonsed with cte. However my temples (especially the right side) has got very thin and it's awful. My derm doesn't know for sure what causes it to receed like that. Please help, I'm afraid to use minoxidil.
