Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow? Supplements you haven't heard of, lab testing for telogen effluvium and managing folliculitis decalvans

Hair loss is common and devastating, both to the person losing their hair and the dermatology provider taking care of them.  Derms on Drugs to the rescue.  In part one of our deep dive into hair loss we cover three big topics:  1) What supplements for hair loss actually work?  You'll have heard (ad nauseum) about some of them, but we'll also bring you some ideas for cheap supplements you haven't heard of that actually work; 2) Do we really need to do lab work-ups in patients with telogen effluvium? and 3) What's the state of the art when it comes to diagnosing and managing folliculitis decalvans?  Join us for another episode with our trademark mix of evidence and banter!  #DermatologyPodcast #HairLoss #DermsOnDrugs #Alopecia
