Hair: Surely your Dermatologist discussed all the details with you. If that is not the case please have a primary doctor or a friend refer you to a dermatologist who is more involved in your care. Please let me know how things develop.

Treatment: You is right. All these medications not really helpful for hair lost. You have to add vitamin A in capsules. Take 2 caps a day for 2 weeks and then one per day for months. Buy Higher dose vit A as possible.
