23 year old female suffering from 10 months of hair loss. It has thinned out through out my scalp. I have no patches. I shed/lose more hair after I shower and in the morning when I wake up. I don't know what I have since two dermatologist gave me different diagnoses.

Answer: Telogen effluvium vs Androgenetic Alopecia Androgenetic Alopecia is an inherited condition in which a pattern of hair loss usually appears. This can occur in men and women, and the patterns of hair loss are easily recognizable and it is often permanent. The loss is often frontal and works its way back.Telogen effluvium on the other hand is a form of alopecia (hair loss) that occurs on a temporary basis, cycling on and off. Hair usually regrows with this condition. The loss is generally all over the head and does not develop a pattern that is evident to the eye. This condition is often stress related.
