Do I really have Telogen Effluvium or is it MPB?
hi, Dr. I was diagnose with TE by my derm i guess because my life situation in my the passed 2 year and how from one moment to another my hair just started to shed. i believe i had more than one case of TE and never recovered from it. on this summer that passed i had a headfull of head more than most of my friends until around october all of a sudden they now have more than me. As far as my family history every body from greatgranfathers, grandfather,father have hair, except 2 unckles that r bald on my moms side from 7. My question is, is it possible to have TE concentrated on top more than sides? and if so is minoxidil is a good solution to boost the telogen phase to anagen? I never notice any thinning like most do. i just noticed alot, alot of shed. Please answer. im so confuse. Thanks
It is difficult to diagnose you without examining your scalp, but TE usually involves not just the top of the scalp.
