Hey everyone, I'm 24 and looking for some advice, I've posted here before and had a good amount of information from doing so,
End of April I noticed I had lost quite a fair amount of my hair, it is very diffuse and there's not any bald patches but my partings show my scalp alot more than it would before, when I realised my hair had thinned my shedding was quite normal however in the last week or two the shedding has got alot worse and I'm losing alot more while brushing and washing!
3 GPS have said it is telegon effluvium and that it should calm down soon however it hasn't and although it was only a few months ago I realised I'm confused as I thought with telegon effluvium it didn't actually affect the amount of hair on your head very much, I have an appointment with a private dermatologist on the 25th of July but I'm so scared I'll lose more hair by then! When I shed hair it's all different lengths also, mostly long but also alot of shorter hairs from behind my ears? I've noticed my eyebrows and eyelashes shed alot more than usual also and wondered if that was also telegon effluvium? I'm worried the diagnosis isn't right and would love to know if anyone else has or is experiencing this as at the moment it's in my thoughts every second of the day! Im using hair loss shampoo and taking Multi vits ect but the shedding seems worse now than it ever has been! Xx
