Do I have Telogen Effluvium or Alopecia Areata? (photos)
austinhampton03Mar 22, 2018
My hair has been shedding and thinning for a few months now. I’m just 19. No family history of male pattern baldness. My family does have a history of various autoimmune diseases. My eyebrows have also been thinning. I have a small circular patch in my chin/beard area that is bald with no hair. I have also noticed my fingernails becoming much softer and brittle.My hair line is not receding. If I gently pull on a section of hair, 5 to 7 hairs easily come out.
