telogen effluvium

I'm an 18 almost 19 year old dude with a borderline NW3 hairline. Throughout my whole teenagehood I've been extremely stressed and have experienced a few bouts of depression. This is mainly dude to my dysfunctional family as well as school. When I was in the 10th grade, I experienced my first...

I have no doubt in my mind I am experiencing a slight-moderate degree of hairloss at my crown due to male pattern baldness but the thing is that I have equally thin hair everywhere besides the crown. You can see through slightly, unless it is styled in a certain way. On my sides, even in the safe zone, if I...

Hello Everyone, I grew up with what I guess would be considered normal hair. My ponytail was about 1.5-2 inches across and the strands were normal, not thick or thin. I guess I didn't notice the changes my hair was going through because it was so gradual and I don't do anything with my hair...

I'm hoping that maybe some of you can help me figure out what's going on. I'm 19 years old and I have noticed over the last 3 months that my hair all over and on the sides (it's a little more patchy) has thinned to the point that if I style it wrong or if my hair is wet you can see my scalp...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and in desperate need for help, I'm 25 year old male losing approximately 200-500 hair strands a day, texture of my hair has changed, and hair has become thinner. About a year ago I was hospitalized due to minor cellulitis on my toe because of athletes foot, was...

About 4 or 5 months ago I started to shed a ton of hair. I chalked it up to a nasty scalp infection I got from a stray cat I took in (fair warning). That cleared up, but my hair continued to shed. I have no genetic predisposition for baldness of any kind (no one one my mother or father's sides...

A little bit about me... I've always had very thick, wavy hair - thick to the point where I couldn't wear it down because it'd get too puffy-looking. It thinned out permanently (maybe by 20%, nothing too bad) after a course of Accutane four years ago, but still looked full and healthy. I did go...

Hi I am 27. My bro lost a lot of hair at 22 or so. Dad is near bald. Since 21. I had no appreciable hair loss until 5 mo ago, I started Adderall XR then. I quit a week and a half later. Diffuse loss all throughout scalp. Esp on top perhaps. Looks fine dry, when not wet. Looks full. I lost a...

Anyone knows to what degree one can lose their hair due to stress? Are they usually regrown? I am 24 now and I started losing hair when I was 21 right after a prolonged stressful period when I was both having mental and physical stress. I was having board finals on which my future was going...

Any guys here who have gone through the horror of Chronic Telogen Effluvium but have grown fully or to a satisfiable level? I am losing hair for almost 4 years now, I suspect I am suffering from Telogen Effluvium. I am losing short hairs mostly, and there are tons of baby hairs on my hairline...

This all started 3 and a half year ago. I was going through a tough time. I just started college and was not eating healthy throughout the day. I was out in the dust and smoke all day and couple of months before my hair fall started, I fasted a month (not eating+drinking anything from morning...
