Will prp work for hairloss due to medication (clomid) It has been about 4 months since I stopped taking the meds and I'm still losing hair mainly hairline but it's getting worst. I was told the testosterone that the clomid produced converted to dht and kickstarted my hairloss. Can prp regrow my hairline or freeze the hairloss from getting worst
