Gradual Hair loss - I need Help

In 1999, my PCP priscribed a medication (I don't remember the name)which contained sulpur for a dry skin. I uesd it for about a month but unfortunately I applied some of the medication about 2 inches into my front scalp.

I found out later on, may be 6 months down the line that my frontal hair was not growing as quick as the other parts. I tried to find out what was causing the slowing of my hair growth and the only change was the application of the medicine.

I went back to read the label on the medication and that was when I realized that the medication has the capability to cause temporary hair loss.

Since then. I have been losing my frontal hair gradually through thinning and just last week I realized that my frontal hair was just gone. Therefore, I have been compelled to go bald, although I hate it, I don't think I have any choice.

I used Scalp Med about a year ago, even though it was not recommeded for frontal baldness. I did see some improvement but I have stopped using it because it does not support the use in the frontal baldness.

I am actually wondering if that also contributed to my frontal hair being damaged so fast. However, I have hair all over my head, I do not have any loss around my vertex.

Can anyone help me on this if in fact there's a help out there for me. I have heard about laser therapy which improves the situation. Any thought on this?

Thanks.

If the medication only causes temporary hair loss then you're hair should grow back when usage stops. If that isn't the case then it must be occuring naturally. I really think you should see your doctor about it.
