Effluviums
- drug induced telogen effluvium. Almost any drug can cause
an adverse reaction and telogen effluvium in a minority of users.
A list of drugs that are most frequently associated with promoting
telogen effluvium hair loss is included here.
Effluviums
- illegal drug induced telogen effluvium. Research on the
effects of drug abuse on hair loss is very limited. However, some
brief reports suggest psychotropic drugs may promote a telogen
effluvium type hair loss.
Effluviums
- hormone associated effluvium. Some hormones, particularly
thyroid hormones, have a profound effect on hair follicles. Too
much or too little of certain hormones can lead to an effluvium
type of hair loss.
Effluviums
- neonatal effluvium. Sometimes hair follicles of new born
babies all enter a resting phase at the same time resulting in
an effluvium type of hair loss.
Effluviums
- stress induced effluvium. Long term stress can have an adverse
effect on hair follicle activity. Telogen effluvium may develop
after too much stress.
Effluviums
- short anagen syndrome. Sometimes hair follicles cycle too
rapidly through their growth phase. A type of effluvium is the
result.
Effluviums
- burning scalp syndrome. This is a newly identified condition.
Hair loss involving an increase in telogen hair follicles can
be associated with painful burning sensations.
Effluviums
- effluvium treatments. Dermatological treatments for telogen
effluvium are limited, but effluviums are usually spontaneously
reversible and often recover after changes in life style are made.
