Genetic cause?: The medical problems that need to be excluded are an under active thyroid gland or autoimmune disease. Blood tests will help diagnose. Pregnancy, weight loss, stress/trauma, too much vitamin A are other causes. Because of your age, I suspect androgenetic alopecia, a genetic tendency to lose hair as the follicles themselves shrink. Continue working with a good dermatologist with an interest in hair

Telogen effluvium?: Is that what they called it? If that's what it is, basically it's not treatable and generally it remits after a while. Eat sensibly, trusting you've had your thyroid checked, an economical multivitamin with minerals appropriate to your being a young woman and with regard to your diet. In the meantime, a baseball cap looks great.
