Tingling/itchiness on my scalp. Could this be a sign of increased hair loss? Even short thicker hair due to Rogaine is shedding.

Asked By:abez in Ontario, CA

I am 27 years old and was diagnosed with AGA/FPHL, as well previously mild telogen effluvium. I am on spiro, yazl, estrogel, and I take iron supplements. I have been using rogaine for about 1.5 years. Over the past month I've experienced tingling/itchiness on my scalp, and noticed a slight increase in hair fall, including thicker hairs that were growing in due to rogaine. Could this be my cycle still trying to get back on track, or a sign that my hairloss is increasing/TE is present again?
