A member asked:
I'm recovering from telogen effluvium, that my derm says could be chronic. i know theres not a lot i can do, but are there any products, diets or supplements (aside from biotin and d3) that could be helpful? could 0.05% tretinoin worsen this?

I am glad: you are recovering since that means the "causes" of this hair loss have been excluded or dealt with! Recovery is slow and there are no products or diets which will hasten the normal regrowth of your hair! Hope this helps Dr Z
