Hi I went to see my dermatologist and I was diagnosed with severe sebrrohic dermatitis . My dermatologist said this is the reason for my hair shedding and that this condition has caused me to develope telogen effluvium. I wanted to know does this condition cause hair miniaturization and will the miniaturized hairs come back to healthy hairs once treated. Also I shed somewhere around 100-130 hairs a day. Will this go lower once I treat my sebrrohic dermatitis? Thank you

Capixyl is helping protect your hair from falling. It blocks the conversion of DHT to active testosterone, which in turn is the most common cause for hair pattern hair loss.
DUPA requires an expert to assist you in diagnosis. A few miniaturized hairs in the donor area can be seen in most people. Lots of miniaturization is rare. By definition, proportions in excess of 20 % via dermoscopy would be suggestive of AGA and in this context - DUPA.
You need to meet with a dermatologist and get examined with a hand microscope, The doctor will look for exclamation hairs which if h finds, will then get a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis
