    Chronic Telogen Effluvium Or Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia?

    Not too sure Ill check. My scalp biopsy said signs of male pattern baldness. But I explain to my derm I have diffuse thinning. Can there not be signs of Androgenetic Alopecia in CTE that give a wrong diagnosis. Because she told me I had cte before the biopsy. Its been like 3 years thinning but the fact that this all happened all...

    Chronic Telogen Effluvium Or Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia?

    Just Got my iron levels checked any they were in the low range but not excessively deficient. Maybe this could be why. Would a scalp biopsy give me my diagnosis.

    Chronic Telogen Effluvium Or Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia?

    yeah well thats clearly telogen effluvium, where as I have never had shedding but weirdly enough have diffuse thinning. Finasteride wont help if its CTE. If you get a biopsy you'll know what you have.

    Chronic Telogen Effluvium Or Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia?

    I dont notice anything different about my nails other then that they feel weak and brittle. I am going to get a scalp biopsy later which will show which I have. I just want to know if my hair will stop thinning. Literally went from 100% fine to destroyed after a shower one day and hair has been...

    Chronic Telogen Effluvium Or Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia?

    the derms havent been able to do or figure out anything really. About a week ago I figured out my iron levels are low, but I doubt thats what has caused it to be diffuse thinning for a couple of years.

    19 Diffuse Thinning Everywhere, Still Having Being Officially Diagnosed. What Might This Be

    Went to the doctor recently and my iron levels were pretty low, could that be why Ive have diffuse thinning for 2.5 years or probably not.

    Chronic Telogen Effluvium Or Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia?

    My hair is equally thin everywhere but its so short on my sides and back where you can't tell. Its hit the 3 year mark now and I still have 0 answers. All of my blood work is fine and I don't know where to turn. How do I figure out if I have permanent hair loss. My 2 derms do not know anything...

    Chronic Telogen Effluvium Or Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia?

    My hair is insanely thin. I dont know if its male pattern baldness, but it is forsure something. male pattern baldness doesnt have thinning sides.

    Chronic Telogen Effluvium Or Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia?

    When the hair on my sides and back grows out to 3guard its noticeably very thin. My hair is very thin all over, but it went from being completely normal and thick 2.5 years ago to one day where it was immediately very thin all over. I have no idea what could be causing this.

    Itchy scalp means hair loss ?

    I dont notice any shed but my hair is very short also. I dont think its male pattern baldness because my sides are very thin.
