    TLDR Individualized homeopathic treatment led to complete hair regrowth in a patient with stress-induced hair loss.
    The document discusses a case of a 42-year-old male patient suffering from acute telogen effluvium, a condition characterized by sudden scalp hair loss, which was triggered by severe stress due to business issues. The patient experienced severe itching in the scalp region and increased hair fall, especially during washing, oiling, and massaging the scalp. After a thorough case history recording, analysis, and evaluation of the symptoms, the patient was prescribed Natrum muriaticum, a homeopathic medicine. After 14 days, the same dose was given followed by a placebo for another 14 days. The placebo was continued for 3 months, during which hair growth started in the previously visible scalp area. After 3 months, there was complete hair growth in the previously visible scalp area.

      The user has been losing hair for over two years despite taking dutasteride and RU58841, even increasing dutasteride to 2.5mg. They are questioning if their hair loss could be due to telogen effluvium instead.

      The post discusses potential links between low vitamin D levels and hair loss, and how correcting this might impact the effectiveness of Minoxidil and Finasteride treatments. The responses vary, with some suggesting that vitamin D deficiency would cause overall scalp hair loss, while others believe it would first affect the most sensitive areas.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
