Long time lurker here and finally decided to post about my experience. Friend pointed out hair loss sometime in 2021 and that’s when I found this subreddit. I’ve only had what some consider minor hair loss. I have some temple recession (mostly right side), some crown thinning, and overall minor dif
I am an MD with 9 years of work experience, and what I have seen on Reddit over the past few months regarding hair growth and health has terrified me, to the point that I think any subreddit about this topic should be shut down To summarize it, I've noticed that if you post a picture with any amount
