Cortisol with Male Pattern Baldness

A

I’m susceptible to male pattern baldness and recently had a very stressful 2 months. This has led to an increase in shedding to the areas that I’m prone to male pattern baldness. This was of course due to a cortisol spike. My question is that if a cortisol spike leads to an increase in shedding, do these hairs have a potential of growing back? Or is the the follicle dead at this point?

The only knowledge I have on this is what I’ve read online. Maybe someone reading this thread has gone through the same as you and can answer.
Other than that, I would recommend speaking to a medical professional who deals in this area.
I do hope you have the stressful situation under control.
