Bill - Seemiller Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 mobius, I am not convinced that the cause of your diffuse thinning hair isn't genetic male pattern baldness. I encourage you to see a dermatologist who specializes in hair and skin who can examine you more thoroughly and determine the cause of your hair loss condition. There are a number of short-tempered people with a full head of hair, so this is not causing it. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Ricardo Mejia Posted June 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2008 Mobius: There are several possible causes for your hair loss which can be isolated with a proper exam and consultation and examination of the hair follicles. In my experience, there are times you can see a combination of both factors, i.e. MPB and telogen effluvium or diffuse shedding. This can be induced by a variety of reasons, including stress. Dermatologists typically do hair pull tests to determine the ratio of telogen hairs. The root of the hair typically looks like a club. MOst of my patients describe a significant increase of hair in the shower or when they comb their hair. To alleviate your anxiety, it would be best to see a professional to best diagnose your problem. I have seen a guy with a full head of hair lose 50% of it and appear very thin strictly from stress alone. Unfortunately his sister tragically died in a car accident. Stress can be a significant factor for telogen effluvium.
