How do i get rid of telogen effluvium that's lasted for 6 months?

May not be that: If your hair is continuing to fall out, I would see an endocrinologist or dermatologist. Your thyroid levels should be checked. Your also need to be sure you are not iron deficient (ferritin level). Hormonal levels should also be evaluated.
