I'm really concerned about my hair. It used to be so thick back in college, but now I've noticed my scalp is showing more on the top of my head. I don't see much hair falling out, but I have less hair and some of it's turning grey. I went to a doctor recently, and they just gave me a prescription without even checking into the problem. I'm trying to figure out what's causing my visible scalp and potential baldness. Any advice on what steps I should take?

I've been struggling with some hair issues after a bad case of chicken pox back in 2016. About five months post-recovery, my hairline started receding, and my hair seemed to get thinner. By the next year, the temple area receded by an inch and my hair lost strength. I started taking dietary supplements six months ago as per my doctor's advice, and I'm noticing a slight improvement in thickness, but my temple hairline hasn't shown any progress. Can you shed some light on whether my temple hair will eventually grow back, and how long it might take for my hair follicles to recover after chicken pox?
