My Dermatologist Said I Have Telogen Effluvium, But I Don’t Believe It

Hello,

I am a 28 years old female, I was told diagnosed by my Derm when I was 24 years old …up to recently I have had extremely mild case of AA but starting in May on this year I got 5 spots and diffuse hair loss with the end of the hair from the scalp looking very dystrophic for example it looks like the hair is tapered feathered like.

I have seen four different Derm the last one was referred to me by NAAF she took some hair samples told that I have Telogen Effluvium but I don’t believe it.

The hair that is falling is almost dead like..and it short and I have long curly hair also I did get some Kenog injection and my spots are slowly filling in but the diffuse hair loss is continuing..I am lost here I am also using 5% minoxidil for men two cups full daily but I see more of hair shedding. please help me if you have any ideas

The dermatologists you visited with had the advantage of being able to observe you and examine you closely. They can perform a pull test and elect to do a biopsy if they wish. They can examine the hair microscopically on the head and look for miniaturization. I can not do this through the internet and I’m particularly reluctant to take a position against these other doctors who had the opportunity to examine you. Sorry.
