I Was Diagnosed with Telogen Effluvium a Year Ago, But My Hair is Still Falling Out

Hello

I am a 30 year old woman and I have been experiencing hair thinning especially in the front. I did a hormonal test a couple of years back and it came ok. Last year a dermatologist in Atlanta did a Hair and I was diagnosed with TE. He did nothing but to prescribe vitamins. My hair loss has not stopped. What shall I do? can you suggest a doctor or a treatment?

You should perhaps consider seeing another doctor for a second opinion, though I don’t have any personal recommendations in the Atlanta area.

In general, there is no definitive cure for women’s hair loss once other medical causes have been ruled out (anemia, thyroid conditions, etc). If you do have telogen effluvium, hair generally grows back after about one year.
