Stress Hairloss and with increased DHT

[adelia401]

I've been going through a very stressful time the last 3 weeks and noticed some shedding. I'm aware of the stress condition of telogen effluvium and that hair usually grows back. However, for those who have male pattern baldness, will hairloss from elevated DHT levels due to stress grow back? Or is the hair follicle dead at that point as with standard male pattern baldness. I have been using a minoxidil/finasteride topical for the past 2 years and have had positive results.

Stress-related hair loss usually grows back, but male pattern baldness caused by DHT may lead to permanent loss. Minoxidil/finasteride can help, but consult a dermatologist for proper guidance.
