Hello doctor,

I have been diagnosed with CTE (chronic telogen effluvium), but my doctor did not provide me with any information basically what to do about this condition. Can you help me out? What should I do to get it under control?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Chronic telogen effluvium occurs when your body has been under stress like any drugs, any disorders like thyroid, nutritional deficiencies, chronic mental stress, or any other chronic illness. And the rest of the time no cause can be appreciated. So then you need to look for these and control them. Take plenty of fresh fruits, and protein sources including eggs, meat, and dairy products. Use a Ketoconazole 2 % shampoo once or twice a week to help the scalp keep free of dandruff. Manage your stress, take good sleep, and drink plenty of water. And if you are using Minoxidil use it regularly and it might also in phases causes shedding as it rearranges the hair cycle. Do not stop it again and again.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
