    Telogen Effluvium or Androgenetic Alopecia?

    I think my camera is exaggerating a bit. After trying to find some of the thinning on the side in the mirror I just can't see any patches or gaps that large or wide. My dermatologist hasn't really performed any tests, and I forgot to ask about miniaturization during my last visit, but neither...

    Telogen Effluvium or Androgenetic Alopecia?

    Well, it's been a few weeks, and it seems like the hairloss has already gotten quite a bit worse, or maybe I'm overanalyzing. The thinning is more diffuse now, but it still seems like the worst of it is on the crown and the hairline to me. I saw the dermatologist again, and he told me it seems...

    Telogen Effluvium or Androgenetic Alopecia?

    Telogen Effluvium or Androgenetic Alopecia?

    Ugh, well, from what I've read I guess I'll go on propecia and rogaine assuming I don't have a bad reaction to it, if that's the case. I'm hanging onto the hope it's just telogen effluvium, but I guess I'll see with the upcoming appointments since I need a prescription for the propecia anyway...

    Telogen Effluvium or Androgenetic Alopecia?

    Okay, so for the past few weeks I've noticed thinning in my part and now have noticed thinning in the back of my head that I only was able to see after expecting myself with a webcam. The "feel" of it also seems different. Now for some background: in January I got a horrible stomach flu, or...
