I posted about my 16 yr old son a week or so ago. I cut his hair and beard today and noticed he had a new thinning patch on back of scalp parallel with his ear (which he had the other side but i thought it was caused by clippers previously) but also he now has balding patches in his beard. He also has really dry flaking patches in his beard which I noticed minorly a couple of months back. The large white sebum balls I noticed in his hair actually have hairs attached...could this not be telogen effluvium affecting both scalp and beard? Cheers.
