Hello! I have been losing my hair for over 8-10 months now. I have done very little...I tried just ignoring it after seeing pics of me last year and my hair looked to be getting a little thin in the front part of my head along and above the two temples. I tried ignoring it, but noticed hair always falling out on papers at college and was really starting to get freaked out by it. This year I noticed a rapid increase in the amount of hairs that I was losing and my hairline was receding to the point where it was almost impossible to hide anymore. When I grow my hair out for say 2 months and comb it just right, its very hard to even tell I'm losing, but under the right lighting, I'm sure it was noticable...a few of my friends started noticing that I was losing and have been giving me crap.
I recently got a haircut, very very short and there is no stopping it now. No combover can hide it anymore. Its all out there.
I noticed a big increase in shedding/lost hair when I started ROGAINE FOAM ...ever since then if I just run my fingers through my hair, I will easily get between 3-5 hairs at a time.
I don't know what to do...my dermatologist told me to do the foam and use Retin A too...only a night in the summer and twice a day after the sun gets a little lower in the horizon because it makes you burn easy.
Any advice/words of encouragement please...
