I'm confused about the "difference" of the hair shed of Telogen Effluvium vs. male pattern baldness
I read on this website, that supposedly the hair that sheds if you have Telogen Effluvium, or if you do the tug test - you are going to have the 'white bulbs' on the roots of those hairs. As is normal.
OK. So then if the hairs that shed due...
if I understand this correctly.. the tug test is when you get a good amount of hairs in between your fingers and pull your hand away from the scalp/sides/back (tugging the hair) and if you get about 2-5 hair or so from all over (back/top/sides) then that means you have Telogen Effluvium?

Re: my hair and its losses
your hairline kinda looks like mine right about now.. I'd say I have DiCaprio's hairline, but I've had that type of hairline since like 19..etc.. how about you? the crown is suspect too, and it's kinda like what I have now, but I have diffuse thinning all over scalp...

I've started...

I have gotten Nizoral 2% that the Doctor prescribed, and I have been using it for a second week now.. it's been three times...
My grandfather, supposedly according to my mom and my grandmother had good hair, nobody had a family history of "baldness" - my grandmother shed some hair when she was young but she's 80 now and a perfect hairline and relatively good hair thickness for her age (but thinner)
my mother thinned...
My hair has shed excessivley over the past half a year. When the dermatologist looked at my hair, she thought it was male pattern baldness.. and I considerably can see how thin my hair is.. it definitely does not have the volume I have had 2 years ago, let alone just in the last december.
I have tingling in my...
