can you tell me where to find a Telogen Effluvium specialist in my area that wont charge an arm and a leg? i live in Torrance, CA
also, how long does it take for follicle that pushes out a telogen hair to start growing that anagen hair?
Unfortunately, I don’t have a local referral. Dr. Richard Strick, based in Los Angeles, specializes in alopecia, so it is a possibility that he would be a good source for a second opinion.
The telogen phase usually lasts 3-6 months and it varies person to person. TE can be chronic or acute and it may have causes such as trauma, systemic diseases, chemotherapy, drugs, hair transplants, any surgery, etc.
