“…Acute telogen effluvium becomes self-limited if the triggering factor is identified and removed. Causative conditions such as scalp conditions (e.g., psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis) should be treated [24]. The patient's drug history should be obtained in detail, and drugs suspected to cause the condition should be replaced or discontinued [5].…”

Telogen effluvium is one of the most common causes of alopecia. It is a scalp disorder characterized by excessive shedding of hair. Several factors such as drugs, trauma, and emotional and physiological stress can lead to the development of telogen effluvium. Multiple alterations in the hair cycle have been proposed as the underlying mechanism. Telogen effluvium can present as acute or chronic hair fall with symptoms such as trichodynia. Diagnostic tests that can be used include hair wash test, trichogram, phototrichogram, and scalp biopsy. In the treatment of telogen effluvium, it is essential to identify and remove the causative factors and to use drugs such as corticosteroids, minoxidil, and novel treatments such as CNPDA (caffeine, niacinamide, panthenol, dimethicone, and an acrylate polymer). Herein, we discuss the presentation, diagnostic approaches, and effective treatment options available for telogen effluvium.

“…8 The anagen follicles represent 75 to 100% of the follicles in a normal scalp specimen. 6,9 In the total sample of cases studied, approximately 90% of the follicles were characterized as anagen, showing that the samples were normal. Of these, 266 follicles were measured at the dermis and 161 at the hypodermis.…”

BACKGROUND -Histological description of normal human hair follicle has scarce literature. Recognizing normal scalp follicle and its variability throughout the scalp is fundamental to study scalp disorders. OBJECTIVES -To evaluate normal scalp samples in Caucasians considering cross-section area, maximum and minimum diameters of terminal anagen follicles. METHODS -Twenty necropsies of Caucasian individuals (10M, 10F) were followed by a 4mm punch biopsy of 4 scalp areas. Transverse sections were evaluated by light microscopy. Terminal anagen follicle cross-section area, maximum and minimum diameters were determined by computer image analysis. Results were compared between sexes and scalp areas. RESULTS -Follicular area and maximum and minimum diameters are presented. CONCLUSION -No statistically significant differences were observed in follicular maximum diameter and area in several scalp regions. However, the morphometric evaluation of terminal anagen follicles demonstrated greater dimensions within the male group. Keywords: Alopecia; Hair; Hair follicle; Histology Resumo: FUNDAMENTOS -A caracterização histológica do folículo piloso normal em humanos é escassa na literatura, considerando que o reconhecimento da arquitetura folicular normal e suas variações nas diversas áreas do couro cabeludo é fundamental para o estudo das doenças do couro cabeludo. OBJETIVOS -Analisar fragmentos do couro cabeludo normal em indivíduos de raça branca quanto à área, os diâmetros máximo e mínimo dos folículos anágenos terminais. MÉTODOS -Vinte necrópsias de indivíduos de raça branca

“…The most important aspect in the management of TE is educating the patient about the normal hair cycle as well as the relationship between triggers and the timing of hair loss [36]. If the trigger is identified and removed, shedding is short-lived and no further treatment is required [3].…”

“…Any underlying scalp inflammation as seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis should be treated with an anti-dandruff shampoo and a topical corticosteroid. Thyroid disease, systemic illnesses, and infections should also be treated [36].…”
