Is spironolactone a good medicine for acute scalp/ front hair line loss/thinning?

You’ll first and foremost want to get a diagnosis. If you have androgenetic alopecia, this could be a good option. If you have a more classic telogen effluvium this is not an appropriate treatment at all. Different types of hair loss are treated differently. Changes in birth control and infections like COVID typically trigger a telogen effluvium. For those with underlying androgenetic alopecia (even if they don’t know they have it)… telogen effluvium can make androgenetic hair loss worse. First and foremost you want to consult with a specialist who can examine your scalp properly and listen to your story from birth until the present day. Your doctors can decide what blood tests are needed and decide if a biopsy is needed. Once you have a diagnosis, then and only then, you can discuss treatment. If you have androgenetic alopecia, every single medical treatment will be required lifelong and hair loss will occur again if any treatment is stopped.
