I'm really concerned about my hair loss and I'm wondering if it's possible for telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss to overlap, and if so, can this be treated or cured? Also, what exactly causes these issues with hair loss? It's really been bothering me and I would love some insights or advice on what to do next.

Telogen effluvium is usually triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes, while female pattern hair loss is often genetic. To treat Telogen effluvium, minoxidil solution can be used twice daily on the scalp. For female pattern hair loss, medications like finasteride can be prescribed to help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It is important to address the underlying causes and follow a consistent treatment plan for best results.

Question

I'm worried because I've had this bump on my mons pubis for about six months now. It tends to swell and becomes painful, especially during my periods, but other times it's just there, like a little ball under the skin that I can feel when I touch it. I tried using a hot compress like my gynecologist suggested. While it helped with the swelling a bit, the bump still hasn't gone away. What could this be, and should I be doing something else to treat it?

Question

After I had jaundice, I've started losing hair, especially at the front of my head where the skin is now visible. I'm really worried about this. Is there any way I can regrow my hair in that area?
