“…These two latter complications decreased with time and their frequency decreased in second post-surgical visit. Eyebrow loss is probably related to the stress caused by the surgery itself but it’s definite cause is still unknown (16). Another common complication is periorbital hyperpigmentation that frequency had decreased with time from %21.8 in first post-surgical visit to %19 in the second.…”

“…More and more diseases have been gradually recognized to be triggered or aggravated by psychological stress, such as depressive disorder, migraine and tumor . Growing bodies of data also showed that psychological stress can be associated with hair loss and vitiligo . Rigorous review and analysis of the literature suggested that many commonly prescribed drugs, for example, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) could cause temporary hair loss .…”

Growing bodies of data show that psychological stress can be associated with hair loss and vitiligo. Researchers have revealed that stress could indeed inhibit hair growth in vivo, but the relationship between chronic stress and melanogenesis remains unknown. In this study, we established two types of stress models, chronic restraint stress (CRS) and chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS) mice models, and explored the possible role of stress in mice hair follicle melanogenesis. We found that stress changed hippocampal morphology, decreased 5-HT level in brain and skin and down-regulated 5-HT1A receptor expression in hippocampal CA1 region and skin. The alterations of 5-HT and 5-HT1A receptor might be a threshold of central stress to associate with the behaviour changes. Both two stresses caused cellular damage of melanocytes and inhibition of keratinocytes proliferation in HF, which made the synthetic pigment loss. CRS which was considered primarily as a "psychological" stressor had the lower melanin production in HF, as well as the level of 5-HT in skin was down-regulated more than those in CUMS group.

“…Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) and diffuse telogen effluvium (TE) account for the majority of cases [2,3,4,5,6,7]. In both conditions, low iron stores have been considered a possible contributing factor.…”
