Hi,
Telogen effluvium
A major alopecia cause Telogen effluvium (TE) is one of the most prominent alopecia causes. But it is a poorly defined condition and very little research has been done to understand this major hair disease.Telogen Effluvium is an abnormal loss of hair which is due to the alteration of the normal hair growth cycle. The alteration of the normal hair cycle can be due to various factors.
Alopecia Areata
In this major hair loss cause, the affected hair follicles are mistakenly attacked by a person's own immune system (white blood cells). It leads to the arrest of the hair growth stage. Alopecia areata in the initial stage is evident as one or more small, round, smooth bald patches on the scalp. Slowly it can progress to the total scalp and result in major hair loss. When the alopecia covers the entire scalp it is called alopecia totalis and when it leads to hair loss over the complete body then it is called alopecia universalis.
