I am a 30 yr old female and diagnosed with androgenic alopecia. Have been told by two doctors to treat with low androgen birth control and 100mg spironolactone. Another doctor says these are ineffective and not safe to take long term as they make estrogen dominance and put me at risk for breast cancer. What should I do?

You must see a good doctor for this assessment:
