Questionable biopsy results - what could be causing my hair loss? (photo)

Hello,

It is possible to have both Telogen Effluvium and Androgenetic Alopecia. This shedding you are experiencing may be as a result to the extreme stress. Typically, we will discuss treatment options to manage the TE and also assist with the genetic aspect of your hair loss. We will be happy to provide you a complimentary consultation virtually to discuss.

Well, it’s possible a biopsy can be wrong. But how does androgenetic hair loss start in young women? With lots of shedding. What is the most common misdiagnosis in those with shedding? Androgenetic alopecia. I would need to know more about your story and see your scalp up close and see your biopsy results myself to say it it’s wrong or not. If the terminal to vellus hair ratio is less than 4:1 and telogen proportion is less than 12 % it is unlikely you are dealing with TE and more likely AGA.
