    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.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  830 upvotes 11 months ago
      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.

      community How many of you guys have taken accutane?

      in Chat  8 upvotes 2 months ago
      Accutane may accelerate hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals by affecting enzymes related to DHT metabolism. Some users report hair loss after taking Accutane, while others use treatments like finasteride and minoxidil to manage hair loss.

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

      in Research/Science  2 upvotes 2 weeks 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.

      community HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)

      in Research/Science  39 upvotes 2 years ago
      HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.

      community I feel like people here shrug off nutritional issues too quickly. Particularly for Retrograde Alopecia.

      in Chat  10 upvotes 2 years ago
      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.
