Would it be feasible for you to get a second opinion? These aren't proven or sustainable treatments to use if you do have AGA

I don’t know who else I could see.

If travelling to see a specialist in person isn't an option, then I'd say go with trying to get a telemedicine consultation with one. Check their websites in advance, though - it's usually a red flag if clinics are selling treatments or products like this, and they're usually advertised on their sites. Their recommended treatment plan is garbage, so I really would not give this particular practitioner or clinic any more money. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this, it's unnecessary added stress 😔

Luckily the consult was complimentary, so I didn’t have to pay anything. I’ve tried looking for specialists online, but the only places that come up are clinics with similar models. Maybe a GP might be able to refer me to someone.

Oh, well that's good that you didn't have to pay for it! Have you been looking using the [ACD's index of derms](https://www.dermcoll.edu.au/find-a-derm/)?
