Under Tremendous Stress Lately, Is This Telogen Effluvium?

[Inara]

Hi,

I've been under tremendois stress for a longer time. When I looked at my hair lately I noticed by his (picture attached). My right side looks perfectly fine though (also picture attached), but my left side made me worry if this is related to stress and if its permanent or temporarly. I would gladly hear your view on it. Cause this doesn't look like male pattern baldness I would think, especially when no one in my family is balding.

First picture is the left side and the second picture is my right side.

If your thinking that its not because of genes, maybe the answer is because of stress since you mentioned that you're under a tremendous stress for a long period of time, one of the reason for hairloss is stress.

Thanks for replying. If stress is the cause then the loss is temporarily right?

If you suffer from stress then Telogen Effluvium is the most popular cause of your hair loss. It usually occurs when the person under a lot of stress, suffering from a major illness or is just over exhausted in a physical and mental level. This is a temporary condition and your hair will grow back if you relax and let the surgery work its wonders. I would like to suggest you consult the nearest Dermatologist.
