Diagnosed TE
In May and the first few weeks of June, my hair shed WAY more than usual. I would literally pull clumps out in the shower and when applying K18. It looked fine from the front, but earlier this week I saw that the crown specifically had visibly thinned. I’ve always had thinner hair there and cowlicks which can make it look like I have bald spots. The shedding has been much better this past week, and my dermatologist thinks it’s TE, not AGA. Notably, I had an extremely stressful month of March and had the flu with a high fever for a week that month as well. I’m also iron deficient and anemic (just learned this Monday) and just started supplements this week. But I’m still worried about AGA. Has anyone else with TE dealt with noticeable thinning at crown? And do you have any recommendations? I’d like to start with natural remedies before turning to the hard stuff. Ugh.
