  Alopecia areata


Telogen effluvium
Telogen effluvium is the most common form of diffuse alopecia. It is often diagnosed from a history of an initiating event 3 months before the onset of shedding. Causes include childbirth, sustained high fever, surgery, systemic disease exacerbation, crash low protein diets, severe emotional stress, and drug reactions. Pull tests are positive all over the scalp. Bitemporal recession is a useful diagnostic sign in women. The acute form normally subsides in 3 to 6 months. In true telogen effluvium, the hair invariably regrows within a short time.
Postpartum telogen effluvium
This condition is associated with postpartum hormone-related changes that temporarily prolong hair resting phase. It is most commonly seen 2 to 4 months postpartum.


Anagen effluvium
Anagen effluvium is drug or toxin-induced and may mimic diffuse alopecia areata. Chemotherapy is the most common cause.

 


Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is the manifestation of a psychogenic behavioral pattern of frequent hair-pulling by the patient. It is frequently related to obsessive-compulsive disorder and can be seen in males and females of all ages, but most commonly in preadolescent and early adolescent girls. The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The bald area manifests as a distinct, unnatural geometric shape. Hair may be pulled from a secondary site, such as the eyelashes, eyebrows, underarms, body, or pubis. Assess for other psychosocial factors and disorders and refer for counseling as indicated.
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV (DSM-IV) Criteria for Trichotillomania:
Recurrent pulling out of one's hair, resulting in untreatable hair loss
Increasing sense of tension immediately before pulling out the hair or when attempting to resist behavior
Pleasure, gratification, or relief when pulling out the hair
The disturbance is not better accounted for by another mental disorder and is not due to a general medical condition (e.g., a dermatologic condition).
Alopecia areata


Alopecia areata is an inherited autoimmune condition of varying severity. In some patients, hair loss is confined to one or more small oval patches; in others, the scalp is essentially denuded except for a few tufts of hair. It may involve the entire scalp (alopecia totalis) or the surface of the whole body (alopecia universalis). The condition is marked by exacerbation and recovery with high variability among individuals.

 


Tinea capitis
Tinea capitis is a contagious fungal infection of the scalp mostly seen in ages 4 to 14 years. There are fine, scaly, circumscribed areas that are frequently itchy and inflamed. Hair is dull and brittle, breaking off at scalp. In more extensive cases, there may be fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. In the United States, over 90% of cases are from the nonfluorescent Trichophyton fungus. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination shows hyphae. Antifungals such as terbinafine, fluconazole, itraconazole, or griseofulvin are used for treatment.
