Alopecia encompasses diverse conditions that vary by etiology, progression, and clinical presentation, including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and scarring alopecias such as lichen planopilaris and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia. Managing these conditions requires tailored therapeutic approaches, with topical treatments emerging as effective first-line interventions. This literature review examines topical therapies across alopecia types, assessing mechanisms of action, clinical efficacy, and safety profiles to guide evidence-based clinical practice.

Introduction: Alopecia is a systemic disease with multiple contributing factors. Effective treatment is challenging when only hair growth mechanisms are targeted while ignoring the role of maintaining hair follicle microenvironment homeostasis, which is crucial for cell growth and angiogenesis. Oxidative stress and inflammation are major disruptors of this microenvironment, leading to inhibited cell proliferation and compromised hair follicle circulation.

Background: Telogen effluvium (TE) is characterized by diffuse hair loss following stressful events such as childbirth, prolonged surgery or anesthesia, and severe febrile illnesses, as well as intentional or unintentional rapid weight loss. However, literature regarding the relationship between TE and weight loss is limited.
Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics of TE induced by weight loss and assess their quantitative relationship.
