Telogen effluvium (TE) does not cause hair loss in one area only. It causes diffuse loss all over. A physician would need to see your scalp and review your entire story to determine the diagnosis. In general, the story does not fit all that well with TE but your specialist can confirm after review of your story and examination of your scalp.

If you are 46 Kilos, I wounder if you have lost a lot of weight which can cause hair loss in men and women. Men most frequently have genetic causes but weight loss will accelerate its course.
