TE is diffuse.Hi guys,
6 weeks ago, I’ve experienced pretty similar symptoms as above - omicron-like (though not tested, just a guess) illness - 4 days of 37.5-38.5 C fever, shallow ‘itchy’ cough, pain in the bones and somehow on the skin …
7-10 days later I’m pretty much back to normal, except some excessive hair shedding in the shower, also some (subjective) more visible scalp through the hair.
How do you guys distinguish between telogen effluvium (lesser of the two evils), and the initial signs of MPB?
I’m male, 41, pretty good hair until now (pray to god I’m actually delusional about this hair issue), although I’ve had some dandruff in the past few months (treated on-and-off with ketoconazole shampoo (Nizoral)).
Thanks!
TE is excessive.
Also- it “usually” has a white bulb on the end where the follicle was interrupted and then pushed out by the new growth.
