Abstract:
Telogen effluvium (TE) is one of the most common presentations of diffuse non-cicatricial alopecia and is generally self-limited. Multiple causes are associated with TE onset and its maintenance, with stress being felt the most common factor. The multifactorial etiologies involved in TE makes it a complex disorder to diagnose and treat often placing this entity into a "waste basket" diagnosis. By critically assessing the available scientific literature we aimed to review the multifaceted aspects of TE. Our objectives were to review the pathogenesis with the role of stress (including Coronavirus 19-associated TE), as well as to describe the main clinical findings, its differential diagnosis and the current knowledge on TE treatments along with the future treatment's insights.
