      community Telogen Effluvium/Chronic TE and immune-related hair loss advice

       4 upvotes 7 years ago
      Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.

      The user stabilized hair loss with oral finasteride, dutasteride, and topical minoxidil, and underwent a stem cell and PRP procedure. Recent increased hair shedding may be due to restarting dermarolling, affecting minoxidil absorption, or the waning effects of the stem cell treatment.

      community Tretinoin for some men(not all) can cause non-telogen effluvium hair loss

      in Research/Science  6 upvotes 8 months ago
      Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.

      TE (telogen effluvium) is often misunderstood and is triggered by severe stress or trauma, not minor daily inconveniences. Most hair loss cases are due to male pattern baldness (AGA), and treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride can help.
