How many hairs per square cm? I've been diagnosed with CTE and have been shedding for 2 years.

devbethMar 22, 2017

I recently had my scalp checked by a tricologist. She measured my hair density in the front (bang area) and back (crown area). I had 127 and 136 hairs per sq cm respectively.  Is this below normal hair density?

This is difficult to answer without an in-person evaluation. It's not typical to have swelling at the injection site months later. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
