Im soon to be 19 and I started to notice some massive shedding about 2 months ago.
I’m probably losing about 200 hairs a day if not more. It started drastically.
I don’t see that my hairline has gone back even though it was always brutal.
I believe it is telogen effluvium bc I saw also increased shed hairs of the back. Which is not aga. But maybe I’m just coping. I wil see a doc in the next few weeks. I’m really concerned and I need clarity.

Temples: first one is old. They are half a year apart

crown pics are two months apart when I first started noticing the shedding


Ps: I started applying rogaine on my temples also about 2.5months ago. Maybe just 1-2 weeks before I started noticing the shed.
But I don’t think that that’s the cause, bc I was on minoxidil before about a year ago and it didn’t cause shedding to my knowledge.

I would appreciate some help

BTW you can littlerly see loose strands on the crown pics
 
Yes you are, sucks to hear but 1mg fin can fix this or ideally dutasteride, starting now is the best advice you'll get trust me

Yes, i think I will have to start fin. Dut is hard to get where I live.
Is it normal to shed this massively tho.
Aga is usually slow. My family pattern is that the corners go further and further but crown stays in tact. I always knew that my hairline is going back but I didn’t think the shedding will be this massive.
