A member asked:
I had telogen, now i have hair tension on top of my head (crown) and i see baby hair falling out but hair is growing. is there anything i can do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Telogen effluvium: Telogen effluvium typically resolves spontaneously and treatment usually is limited to reassurance. Any reversible causes of hair shedding, such as poor diet, iron deficiency, hypothyroidism, or medication use, should be corrected. Although topical Minoxidil is not proven to promote recovery of hair in telogen, it is well tolerated and has been used.
