This course introduces Telogen Effluvium (TE), the second most common cause of hair loss after androgenic alopecia. It provides a structured approach to understanding the condition through eight key units: introduction to the hair cycle, pathophysiology, triggers, history taking and clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, differential diagnosis, management strategies, and clinical case correlations. Participants will learn to recognise acute and chronic TE,identifycommon triggers such as stress, systemic illness, medications, and nutritional deficiencies, and distinguish TE from other forms of alopecia using clinical,trichoscopic, and laboratory tools. Evidence-based management is emphasised, covering patient reassurance, lifestyle and nutritional interventions, medical therapies, and newer treatment modalities. Case studies illustrate real-world applications, supporting critical thinking and practical decision-making. By completion, learners will confidently diagnose TE and implement tailored, patient-centred management plans.
