The doctor diagnosed me with AGA, but they are not sure about LPP. 21M
I experienced a period of intense stress and insomnia about 10 months ago, and then 1–2 months later I started losing a huge amount of hair from all over my scalp. The shedding never stopped. After that, I started taking dutasteride 0.5 mg three times a week, but my hair loss kept getting worse continuously. I also developed severe itching on my scalp, and it became extremely oily. I used it like that for 3 months and started experiencing side effects.
Then another doctor recommended that I switch to finasteride, so I did. I have been taking finasteride 1 mg for the past 3 months, but there has still been no improvement in my shedding. In fact, my hair seems to be thinning and falling out even faster. Over the last year, I have lost about half of my hair density, and I am also losing a lot of hair from the sides and back of my scalp.
The doctor diagnosed me with AGA and did not pay much attention to my concerns, but I personally suspect either LPP or alopecia areata incognita. I would like to know your opinion as well.
