Do I have telogen effluvium or androgenic alopecia?

Asked By:bjmmiller42 in Harrisburg, PA

I am a 30 y/o male that has been experiencing significant hair shedding since July. Some back story: Starting at the beginning of March, I went on a "crash" diet which resulted in me losing roughly 70 pounds between March to the end of May. Starting in July, the shedding began which was mostly evident on my pillow the next morning and while washing my hair. Each hair has been long in length and includes a white "bulb" at the one end. I will stop here but can provide additional information.
