A member asked:

How can i distinguish between telogen effluvium and male pattern baldness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easy: Male pattern baldness follows a predictable progression, advancing on the temples and crown as you get older. The more chest hair you're naturally blessed with, generally the faster you have hair loss. Teloven effluvium is unrelated, and is a patchy shedding of hairs often in particular areas.
