Anagen Effluvium

Anagen effluvium is a form of hair loss that occurs during the anagen, or growth, phase of the hair cycle. This condition is often triggered by factors such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or severe stress, leading to rapid shedding of hair. Unlike telogen effluvium, which affects hair follicles that are resting, anagen effluvium directly impacts active hair follicles, resulting in more pronounced and immediate hair loss. Patients may notice hair thinning or bald patches, particularly on the scalp. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and may include supportive therapies like scalp cooling to minimize hair loss during chemotherapy. Understanding anagen effluvium is crucial for dermatologists and cosmetologists, as timely intervention can help manage the emotional and aesthetic challenges associated with this condition.
