Hair is not growing back!

[ikana82]

ok, this may be a weird question...but I have really thick hair <and lots of it!> problem is, i've lost my hair at my temples. it's not extremely noticable cuz i wear my hair down all the time, but i know it's there! Everyone tells me that it is stress related...and i have had tons of stress this year(i lost both my parents to a terminal illness earlier this year and had to move back home to take care of my younger sister)...but the odd thing is that my temples were bald years before that! Prolly like 2 or 3 yrs before! Everyone kept telling me that it was stress related and that my hair would grow back. I'm getting concerned because it hasnt grown back (there aren't even any hair pores or anything!) My doctor says he would advise against using rogaine and he doesnt want to prescribe me any hormones (cuz im only 24 and that would interfere with future "baby" plans) so is there really nothing i can do to make my hair grow back? I guess i'll have to ask the derm when i go, but i'm getting pretty worried about it!

I'm so sorry to hear about your parents! I honestly have no idea... Maybe try taking vitamin E or pre-natal vitamins even to see if they help. Is it possible it's the fine hairs that have just finally "disappeared" so much more than you actually lost hair?
