The pathology of disease

Telogen effluvium is diffuse non-scarring hair shedding 2-3 months after trigger (fever/illness/surgery/weight loss/diet/medication/postpartum), presenting with increased hair fall on brushing, no bald patches. Treatment: identify/treat cause (stop culprit drug; correct iron deficiency/thyroid/nutrition); reassurance (regrows in 6-12 months); nutrition (protein/iron/zinc/biotin); gentle hair care; avoid traction/chemicals; follow-up dermatology; distinguish from androgenetic alopecia/alopecia areata.
