Is there a definitive test to determine if it’s AA vs Androgenetic Alopecia

[John Jacobs]

Is there a way to definitively determine if you have AA and not Androgenetic Alopecia? Or do you just have to try Jak inhibitors and see what happens?

I’ve come to realize my hair loss is completely diffuse, no pattern. And I was recently diagnosed with autoimmune issues that correlate with AA. But what test should I ask a derm for? The old ones I saw were clueless.
