Telogen came back

hi everyone, I’m a 21 yo guy who is recently starting to experience hairloss once again. Exactly one year ago I solved this problem by contacting a dermatologist, who prescribed me topical minoxidil (5%). Since that day I haven’t lost a single hair and I’ve had a massive regrowth. He said that the problem was telogen, since everybody in my family has a perfect hairline. At that time I was dropping out of uni so that explanation actually made sense.

Now, one year later, I’m starting uni again and I will soon move abroad. This of course is causing me a bit of stress and, since 2/3 weeks , I noticed a massive quantity of hair falling again.

The problem is that I am still on minoxidil and I had never skipped a day since I started. I am really scared since I don’t know how to stop the thing this time… and at this rate I will lose one year of progress in a couple of weeks.

could be stress-related telogen effluvium. might also be mpb. min can help with regrowth, but it doesn’t stop the shedding from stress. keep using min regularly, and consider stress-reduction strategies. go to the doctor and get thyroid, etc checked.
