How do i tell the difference between hair loss and seasonal shedding? without waiting to see if it stops on it's own.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair loss. : Humans don’t shed. So this would be either (1) actual hair loss, which could be genetically derived, or (2) an inflammatory condition of the scalp that’s leading to loss of hair as a consequence. A Dermatologist can help determine the difference.
