There's no history of AGA in my family, my father's 55 years old and has a head full of hair. I have my mother's hair and my grandpa died at the age of 94 with his head full of hair. I have a mild Seborrheic Dermatitis since 6 months ago. I went no poo and brushed my hair 100-200 times per day. I was so stressed and nervous about that awkward thing. After two months, one day I suddenly started finding 6-8 hairs on my pillow and from 15-25 when showering, every hair with a small white bulb.

Yes, if you are suffering from dermatitis of the scalp and have ongoing itching, it is possible to have an increase in shedding. It's best if you seek treatment with a board-certified hair loss specialist who can diagnose and treat the condition immediately.
You are right to be concerned.While minoxidil works for some, the problem with the medicine is that
it does not stop hair loss, and the DHT will continue is binding to the
hair shaft which will eventually overtake any additional growth caused
by the Minoxidil and die, perhaps just slightly...
Thank you for your question! Although there has been some suggestion of aging of the skin with minoxidil, clinically it is something that we never see.
