A member asked:
Telogen effluvium few months now- i notice alot of short hairs from 1-3 inches. how to tell if that's hair growing back, or just broken off hairs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are they new?: If they weren't in the involved area before, and they are now, then they're likely new. With telogen effluvium, the initial hair loss in the affected areas is generally complete.
