Can rapid shedding/underlying AGA ever be stabilized/stopped from progressing?

September 20, 2018
Asked By:ndelong in Boston, Massachusetts

21 years old. Began losing hair in 2016 after stopping Yaz birth control and spironolactone (both Res were for acne). No family history of female hair loss but diagnosed w/ AGA/CTE. My hair continues to thin rapidly (worsens by the week). Have been using Rogaine for almost a year, but I feel it was made it worse. I feel incredibly depressed and hopeless, and don't want to wear a wig. Is there any room to be hopeful? I can't find any success stories that don't involve hair pieces and "acceptance".
