I'm a 22 year old. I'm diagnosed with chronic Telogen Effluvium. My hair has been falling out for 5 years. I was recently checked with a dermoscope and I got my bloodwork done, all came back normal (except for low hemglobin which is being treated for a month now) and I was diagonsed with cte. However my temples (especially the right side) has got very thin and it's awful. My derm doesn't know for sure what causes it to receed like that. Please help, I'm afraid to use minoxidil.
Answer: 22 year old, chronic telogen effluvium Although you have a diagnosis of chronic tellogen effluvium, there may be several factors involved with your hair loss, including low iron, hormonal changes, genetic influences, etc. For an accurate diagnosis, you may even consider having a small biopsy of your scalp. If there is contribution of androgenic alopecia (related to genetics and hormones), there are may be several options for therapy to consider such as Minoxidil, Spironolactone, low level light therapy, platelet rich plasma injections, etc. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer: Most common cause of Hair loss Without an in person consultation, it is not possible to make a diagnosis. Having said that, the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women is genetic. In order to find the right treatment options, I recommend to see a hair restoration specialist.
