Hi Dark Link, Thanks for the response. Two questions though: (a) You say that malnutrition would lead to hairs breaking. However there is quite a bit of literature on the internet about how people who suffer a bout of anorexia will often get Telogen Effluvium and that a sign of this is the...

Hey Dark Link, Looking at my hair again today, I have to say there is definitely something going on with the left temple. However looking at a few pics of myself from Oct - Feb it seems like it was the same then as it is now? Going to see if I can meet a dermatologist this week who is known for...

My thinking was to go and have a dermatologist check me out and then...

Hi All, I'm about to turn 25. I've been lurking around this forum for the last 2-3 weeks. I've decided to try and become a bit more proactive about what I perceive to be my receding hairline. I went on a dumb anorexic crash diet last year and lost about 40 lbs in 4 months (I started eating...
