Relationship between Stress and Male Pattern Baldness

[adelia401]

Does increased hairloss due to stress grow back in areas you have male pattern baldness? I noticed an increase in shedding due to a stressful month. Not sure if cortisol hairloss is different from your standard DHT hairloss.

I think that stress related hair loss should grow back. I doubt it causes permanent hair loss because it is not caused by DHT but it might make your hair look a little shitter for a while till it regrows.

I would never count on this. I would assume it's gone and then if it comes back whatever that means, you will have other palliatives. One thing is that stress related hair loss seems to be in addition to male pattern baldness, not either/or. Except for me she laughs, ever see a completely bald person just recover? Never happens regardless of what made them go bald. All male hair loss is exceptionally serious and should be dealt with immediately. If you pass GO with your $200 after seeing derm and waiting nine and then 12 months, game might be over, as well as fame, or chance at it, sigh.
