A member asked:
Recently i had telogen effluvium now i am recovering its my 7th month,however i recently discovered i have 3 white hairs , which i previously never had as mine were very thick and black are those white hairs permanent or it ll go away by time passes?

It is difficult to say-typically the hair loss associated with this condition goes away when the reason for the hair loss goes away. It can take 6-12 months for your hair to return to normal so having a couple of white hairs may be part of the recovery process. Only time will tell if the white hair is permanent. Best of luck to you!

How do I stop my eyebrow hair loss? It was caused by using retinol cream which I stopped immediately after. Only my eyebrows have been falling for four months now. Is this telogen effluvium? Am I deficient in any vitamins? Any thyroid or iron issues?
