After doing to see a dermatologist privately on Tuesday I'm confused, he said there was 2 possibilities but the one he's most confident with is telegon effluvium and after doing a pull test he said it's in resolution thankfully! He said the other diagnosis would of been androgenic alopecia, I...

I'm almost confident it's stress related and may have been to do with low folate! I am hoping it is just temporary I really just want the shedding to stop if anything! No I've not tried rogaine as I'm aware the shed becomes worse with that so I don't want to :( do you also lose shorter hairs...

Hey there! I'm sorry your also going through this It really is exhausting! It's more the fact you don't know what it's going to be like every morning when your waking up! I'd love nothing more than to forget about it but it's proving difficult! I've also been taking supplements for the past 2...

Hey everyone, I'm 24 and looking for some advice, I've posted here before and had a good amount of information from doing so, End of April I noticed I had lost quite a fair amount of my hair, it is very diffuse and there's not any bald patches but my partings show my scalp alot more than it...

I'm hoping it's telegon effluvium I really am, i have doubts that it is from the fact its thinned so much over the 3 months and my scalps never been visible until around a months after the shedding started! X

My youngest child is 3 in July I worded it wrong, sorry to confuse You! I am looking into private derms in my area now thankyou! I didn't have my dad in my life from a young age so I'm not totally sure of his genes but he still has all of his hair from what I've been told xx

Thankyou for awnsering all my questions you've really put my mind at rest, the hairs seem around the same texture but much lighter in colour, the shed hairs do have a white bulb at the end every single one in fact! I was sure the shedding would of calmed by now but it just seems worse if...

There are good few short spikey hairs all around the top area of the scalp but nothing promising we it could even be breakage! I'm not a lover of my hair and never have been so it's annoying it's upset me so much, it's the waiting to see it gets worse or better that's also frustrating as so far...

So sorry to confuse you I meant she is 3 in July! Yes I'm uk and although I'm greatful for the nhs I really would pay anything to at least get to the bottom of it all! Xx

No my youngest is 3 next month and I'm not pregnant, yeah i was looking into it but cant seem to find a private derm? I wouldn't even mind paying I did have an online diagnosis off belgravia and it was fphl but that was from just pictures although she seemed pretty adimant it wasnt Telogen Effluvium, the only...

Also I haven't had a scalp biopsy and the doctor has no intention of referring me to a derm as I haven't got bald spots! Xx

Thankyou so much for replying! At first I thought telegon effluvium from looking into the causes but the way my scalps thinned doesn't add up? I was under the impressing telegon effluvium didn't actually mean youd lose as much hair and that it wouldn't make my scalp show? I have all symptoms for...

Thankyou for replying, the gp said all bloods were normal and they'd done a more thorough one to be sure, my ferratin level is 83 so I'm not sure that's the problem, I have been under consistent stress from a bad relationship for around a year and am wondering if maybe that stress has brought it...
