Telogen Effluvium & Alopecia Areata : Understanding Sudden Hair Loss and Autoimmune Hair Conditions

At Dermavista, Aashirwad Hospital, Sri Ganganagar, we offer expert evaluation and customized treatments for different types of hair loss, including Telogen Effluvium and Alopecia Areata—two of the most common causes of sudden hair shedding and patchy baldness.

With a careful diagnosis and evidence-based solutions, our goal is to restore your hair health and confidence.

What Is Telogen Effluvium?

Telogen Effluvium is a temporary, stress-triggered form of hair loss that causes excessive hair shedding, usually all over the scalp. It occurs when a large number of hair follicles enter the telogen (resting) phase prematurely.

Common Causes:

  1. Emotional or physical stress
  2. High fever or illness (e.g., COVID-19 recovery)
  3. Post-pregnancy or hormonal shifts
  4. Major surgery or weight loss
  5. Nutritional deficiencies (Iron, Vitamin D, B12)

Signs to Look For:

  1. Sudden, diffuse hair thinning
  2. Hair fall while washing or combing
  3. No bald patches—just overall shedding
  4. Hair regrowth begins within 3–6 months with proper care

What Is Alopecia Areata?

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss, mostly on the scalp but sometimes on the beard, eyebrows, or body.

Causes & Triggers:

  1. Autoimmune reaction
  2. Family history of autoimmune diseases
  3. Stress or environmental factors
  4. Often unpredictable in onset and recurrence

Signs to Look For:

  1. Round or oval bald patches
  2. Smooth, hairless skin in affected areas
  3. May regrow on its own or recur
  4. Can progress to Alopecia Totalis (complete scalp hair loss) or Universalis (entire body)
