Hair follicle: 22F Egypt Asks how to know if hair is falling out with follicles? I see white bulb at end. Is that the follicle, is it dead? ANS: Would suspect this is the follicle See if you can find an magnifying glass or use your iPhone camera closeup and enlarge on computer. It may have live cells for a while but is likely dead now. Take some to your Dr. next visit.
