Hair loss requires an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Stress causes hair loss in many people who have the genetics for hair loss. It sounds like you are more than stressed. Address your stress and you may find an improvement.
