I thought so for awhile. But started to see the actual miniaturized hairs. My guess is that an adverse event accelerated a slow unnoticeable diffuse loss. Some hope that maybe some of the accute loss will come back.
Is this a reply to me? If so what do you mean an adverse event. I noticed it after being in the sun for 6 months. Could this be it ?? If so would it ever comeback ??? Haha

I just meant I went a year thinking it was a Telogen Effluvium from 3 different derms, did nothing. Minoxidil made it worse and since then it’s Been all down hill in under 2 years.

Personally Tim I'd hang on as I think it looks fine. Tbh your probably over analyzing it and this potentially could make any treatment decisions you make rash ones. Enjoy your life and come back to it in 6 months.

Hi Guys,

So I’ve just taken pictures of my hair when wet under direct light and it’s realllly freaked me out.

I’ve got a couple of questions
A) how can it look 10x worse under light (I can’t beleive how bad this looks)
B) surely now it’s time to start the big 3? Or at least finasteride?

Thanks!

Did your derm check your entire scalp under a microscope?
