I started losing hair in 2021-2022 when I was around 18.

I've always had decent density and I had a good baseline when I started the medications but over the past 1.5 years my hair has considerably gotten worse.

The density is awful especially at the crown and I'm diffuse thinning everywhere. I am not sure what the issue is now.

I have gotten many blood tests and everything is within range, maybe ferritin is on the lower side like 44 but still not low.

Many dermatologists tell me to not worry and continue the meds or do procedures like PRP, GFC etc.

No doctor is trying to escalate the medicines or actually addressing the thinning - especially in the middle. what should I do now?

Top is before from like 1.5 years ago , bottom is now.
