So just a quick update. I went back to the dermatologist who I saw before who did a the scalp biopsy, who then answered some questions and did another quick visual examination. I got them to explain the biopsy results in more detail, which had apparently showed normal numbers of terminal hairs, however with abnormally high numbers of telogen hairs. This biopsy was from the crown, three months ago now. This result they said could be very early male pattern baldness (listed as the differential diagnosis), however they said it was far far far more likely to be Telogen Effluvium based on those results due to the lack of miniturized hairs in that spot. So they said they are pretty confident I have mild Telogen Effluvium, which has been likely perpetuating due to my stress over hair loss.
So, at this point should I still try to find a hair loss doctor to do a minituriztion study? Or is it not worth it at this point.
I am still a little worried about my crown though despite this. Does this look normal to you guys? Or in line with what the dermatologist said that its likely mild Telogen Effluvium if anything?
