    Telogen Effluvium

    Hair is the reflection of one’s soul and the richest ornament of women. Good hair is the immense source of self confidence and self esteem. Now a days, diffuse hair loss is a very common and challenging problem for dermatologists.

    TE is a self limiting condition characterised by a diffuse, abrupt onset of excessive shedding of normal club hairs, usually 2 -3 months after some triggering agent. If the stimulus that causes diffuse shedding persists beyond 6 months, then the condition becomes chronic.
