Serum ferritin, alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, telogen
effluvium.
Pruritic papular eruptions, hair change like telogen
effluvium, diffuse alopecia, and graying which are the late manifestations described in HIV infected persons were also noted.
Among the patients with alopecia (7 cases, 14%), androgenic alopecia was found in 3 (6%) patients and remaining 4 (8%) had telogen

In our study among all the cutaneous manifestation, most common ones were anagen
effluvium followed by supravenous hyperpigmentation, xerosis and melanonychia of nail.
"With telogen
effluvium there's always an underlying cause," she says.
Clinical and histological challenge in the differential diagnosis of diffuse alopecia: female androgenetic alopecia, telogen
