My hairloss pattern is a diffuse loss. I haven't noticed any hairline recession, and if there is any, it's been very minimal. Basically, my hair falls out from all over the top of the scalp, and a little on the sides and back. I'd post a pic, but I have no way to do it, and I don't think...

agbulk, The term for stress-induced hairloss is telogen effluvium. From the best I can understand, it is rarely localized to the hairline, and usually affects the entire scalp (including the back and sides). And it's more of a sudden, rapid shedding, as opposed to gradual loss and thinning...

Dr. Lee responds to e-mails on a consistent basis? What's his e-mail address???

Let's face it, if it were true, then all professional athletes would be bald. But there's plenty of monstrous athletes out there who have a completely full set of hair.
