I have large granular leukemia and take cytoxin and also take eliquis, both cause hair loss so I will try biotin or rogain.

Try essential amino acids. My hair was falling out because I take hydroxyurea. It started growing back in after starting the amino acids. I use Doublewood brand Essential Amino Acids. I hope it helps.

@didyolsn Hello. At what time of day do you take it and how much daily? Do you take the recommended 3 a day?
Thanks.

Minoxidil that's what I started I but I bit the bullet. Because it wasn't going to come back on its own

@synthiame I'm taking oral minoxidil for about a year but it hasn't worked for me. I should stop.

Have you spoken to your dermatologist? Did she add a DHT blocker, like spirolactine or finasteride? Mine is TE stress and female pattern baldness and a 6-month long illness. So I'm getting baby hairs. But my hair is very very thin that I'm getting a wig. I'm sorry you're going through this please let me know how you doing.
