Question on Telogen effluvium: Is this a symptom that effects the whole scalp and not just the top of the head? I don't believe I notice significant thinning or loss on other areas... I can't really remember physio changes that would have caused Telogen effluvium, I mean I have been lacking consistant good sleep and rounded nutrition but that is the case for many college students. I tried the self test where u pinch some hair and pull to see how much comes out and the 4-5 number meets Telogen effluvium but it could also be the the same case for MPB i've read... Boy, don't want to sound immature..I'm sure many of you have already gone through this kind of stress already...but it's quite challenging to keep a positive attitude.

I think I might actually have some clue what your're saying, thinking back to some biology classes that is... I've been taking precautions just in case such as eating a much more varied diet and taking a daily vitamin supplement. I'm not sure if I should stop lifting, I havn't been doing it long, I'm actually a begginer lifter but I heard that the testosterone levels can further the hairloss(?)

Hello, I'm only 23 years old but seeing a lot of hair loss/thinning. Although it has been thinning for a lil time, the whole thing has been very sudden for me. I used to have too much hair... I spoke to my parents and they assured me that our families did not suffer from early hairloss. I know that my dad has thin hair but like him and his brothers they did not start "shedding" untill in their middle years. MY mothers side has absolutely no problem. I'm going to see a dermatologists soon, but I was wondering if anyone here has known reasons for hairloss other than genetics??? Thank you.
