Telogen effluvium (TE) is one of the most common causes of diffuse nonscarring hair loss. In its acute form, it generates a lot of anxiety in the patient, which can be significantly allayed with a confident diagnosis. In its more chronic form, however, the hair loss may go unnoticed for long periods of time. Here in, the dermatologist's role in differentiating it from the more common patterned hair loss is significant. Differentiating TE from other causes of diffuse nonscarring hair loss can indeed be a daunting task and TE is often used as a waste basket diagnosis. A number of factors have been implicated in the causation of TE, however, clear evidence in their support is lacking. The role of stress as a causative factor as well as the result of hair loss needs to be adequately understood. This review aims at summarizing our current level of knowledge with respect to this very common cause of hair loss. An attempt is made to help the readers reliably differentiate TE from other causes of diffuse nonscarring hair loss. The possible causative factors, pathogenetic mechanisms, clinical presentation, and possible treatment options are discussed.

“…[8,10] A full recovery may also be compromised in senile women due to the concurrence of AGA and aging of follicles. [78] In addition, ATE not remitting for prolonged periods may actually be early AGA or diffuse alopecia areata. [79] Moreover, on many occasions, an episode of ATE may unmask an underlying AGA [ Figure 2].…”

“…Age did not have an association with any of the three hair loss patterns, although studies have demonstrated a correlation between menopause and an increased incidence of androgenic alopecia. 16 This difference in findings may indicate a change in the hormonal milieu rather than a direct causative effect of age itself. However, we cannot say this definitively, as there was a relatively low variance in age.…”

“…Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is one of the common types of hair loss in women that is intesifying with age [1,2]. AGA is the complicated and combined result of an androgen-dependent process based on genetic susceptibility of the androgen receptors (AR) to androgens and intrafollicular conversion of weak androgens to potentially stronger ones via numerous steroid-converting enzymes.…”
