    TLDR Hair loss from telogen effluvium happens when a disturbance or imbalance causes hair to fall out prematurely.
    The document from 22 years ago discussed Telogen effluvium (TE), a condition that can occur due to systemic disturbances or metabolic imbalances. These imbalances can cause an immediate anagen release (IAR), a process where hair follicles that would normally stay in the anagen phase prematurely enter the telogen phase and are shed 2-3 months after the initial cause of the imbalance.

      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.

      The user believes Retrograde Alopecia may be linked to vitamin imbalances, specifically from taking too much Vitamin E, A, Zinc, and Selenium, and suggests it could be a middle ground between Androgenic Alopecia and Telogen Effluvium. Treatments for hair loss mentioned include Androgen inhibitors and improving lifestyle factors like nutrition and sleep, with topical melatonin also recommended for Retrograde Alopecia.
