A Clinico-Epidemiological Study of Non-Scarring Alopecia in a Tertiary Care Centre

The study of 190 patients with non-scarring alopecia at a tertiary care center found that androgenetic alopecia was the most common type (50%), followed by telogen effluvium (31.58%) and alopecia areata (17.37%). There was a male predominance, with androgenetic alopecia being most common in males (76%), while telogen effluvium was more frequent in females (61.5%). The age group most affected was 21-30 years (54.21%). The study underscores the significant psychosocial impact of non-scarring alopecia and stresses the importance of early diagnosis and personalized treatment to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
