Will Stopping Diane-35 Intake After Few Years Lead To Massive Hair Loss?
Hi there I have been on Diane 35 for about 4 years. I was put on it to control my acne, and as birth control. My skin has cleared up great. But thinking about going off it to conceive in the next year or so and I keep hearing tons of stories of massive hair loss once you are off Diane 35 for a few months. Do you think this will happen? Have you seen this before? What would cause this? I already have very thin hair. Thank you

Hello,
It is not related to Diane. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. As of now, you can take zinc containing multivitamins for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
