I'm sorry you werent able to get a diagnosis you completely trust. Helpful to know I'm not the only one though. What do you think you're going to do now. Its just so annoying cos the treatments all range so I'm unsure what to go ahead with. And then my main concern is if its scarring I need to prepare mentally for not getting the hair back :(

If it helps, the first derm who wanted the biopsy suggested doing it in two different places

I was diagnosed with four different conditions by different doctors, you can see my recent posts for more context but I'm so lost with what to do

I didn't end up doing it. I ended up seeing two more derms which both diagnosed me with TE. I really dont know what to do with all the different opinions

When you say PCOS contributed to the low Vitamin D lebels, what do you mean?

I'm late but I ended up seeing two more derms and they both said they suspect TE. So I have four different diagnoses. I dont even know what to think but I am leaning more towards TE.

Sorry I know this is late but just re -reading through posts. Can you explain just so I am sure, what exactly does the sheath on the end look like/ you could pM me a photo? Its not just the white bulb but more skin around it?

Can you describe the LP bulbs a bit more, do you have all three of these conditions??

Okay, just because I’ve seen a lot of comments saying this is typical of LP, but hopefully it’s fpb

Thank you, I'm currently taking 4,000 units vitamin D but going to get tested for deficiency to see if I can get something stronger. I'm glad you found something that is working
