Hair fallout starting again after 1.5 years on finasteride and 6 months on oral minoxidil

my hair loss is coming back BAD and i’m not sure what to do. i had my labs checked and my thyroid is fine, but i do have high iron levels and some other levels are high due to chronic illness.

i’m FtM transgender and have also lowered my dosage of T, am on min and fin, and i have started using rosemary oil the past week every other day (i know people here said it doesn’t do anything, but im desperate).

my hair loss started again in january of this year when i moved to a different country. we thought it was due to the hard water so we got a soft water filter, lots of improvement and when i visited my home country again there was barley any fall out. i had a very stressful event happen a few weeks ago and its gotten worse since then so im wondering if it had something to do with it? but its in the same pattern of my MPB.

any help is appreciated ):

It sounds like your hair loss could be influenced by multiple factors, including stress and hormone levels. Since you’ve seen improvement with a soft water filter, environmental changes may impact your situation too. Keep monitoring the effects of min and fin. It might take time, especially with hormonal adjustments, to stabilize everything. Check out the beginner’s guide for more info The Beginner’s Guide.
