Stress, Miniaturization, and Tin

Hi

I have always had a high forehead and a slight receeding hairline since I was young. I am now 21 and for the last year and a half or so I have experienced miniturisation in the front and at the temples. I have been to my doctor who told me that I have miniturisation there.

I wanted to ask you some quick questions

1.) Is it therefore likely I will later miniturise in other areas and progress to a much worse Norwood scale?

2.) I recently went through a very stressful period where i think my hair loss increased. Is this likely to ever grow back (presuming I use Rogaine etc) or does hair loss through stress cause a permament loss?

3. Is tin good for hair loss?

Many thanks

Hair loss is a progressive process so the answer to #1 is yes, more areas will occur as you get older. There are four causes of hair loss (1) genes, (2) hormones, (3) stress and (4) time. Stress accelerates genetic hair loss in young men and may not reverse with drugs like minoxidil or Propecia. The earlier you start them, the better to prevent future loss. I never heard of tin helping hair loss.
