Re: Clinton100's Story - (telogen effluvium or male pattern baldness?)
well, if its telogen u should be fine, if its male pattern baldness ur diffuse thinning, and to be honest it doesnt look good. with treatments ur hairs shoulnd get worse, and will probably get better, but most of the time, if ur diffuse thinning u will eventually lose everything on top. see a derm and they will tell u.

Re: Clinton100's Story - (telogen effluvium or male pattern baldness?)
I have visited my GP and explained this occurred fairly rapidly over 6 months and he thought it was Telogen Effluvium, however I am starting to think it is male pattern baldness as the hair at the back and sides is relatively thick. On the pull test he said I was loosing a large percentage that wasn't gradual enough to be male pattern baldness and the hairs were thick with a white clubbed end. Im kool if it is male pattern baldness as a shaved head doesn't bother me, however I would like my doctor to diagnose me correctly if you people think it is male pattern baldness.

You have a great attitude man, I WISH I was as comfortable with baldness as you are.
It does look pretty bad if it's only 6 months in, how old are you? Did you notice any of your hair thinning a little bit before that maybe around the crown? That's what happened to me... For about a year I had a little bald spot forming then within 6 months or so it all got really bad.. Not this bad though, so it very well may be Telogen Effluvium.. which I have no idea about lol!
