Telogen effluvium

Hi,

I’ve just been diagnosed with telogen effluvium after I lost approx 50-60% of my hair in two weeks. My hair loss is diffuse across most of my head. I am also experiencing stinging & sensitivity of my scalp.

Does anyone else have this?

I am going through the same . Lost more than 70% of my hair . It’s been going on awhile .

Hope your hair fall has stopped and there is regrowth.

I would like to know how to cope with this . It’s psychologically traumatizing
