ICD11: -
Rapid onset non-scarring alopecia under chemotherapy caused by telogenic or anagen-dystrophic felluvium. The hair coat usually regenerates completely within 120 days after the end of the therapy.
The hair can react in two ways under chemotherapy:
Rapid loss of most of the hair on the head up to complete baldness.
Detachment of the anagen hairs is already possible with a light pull. Anagen hairs can be recognised by their broom-shaped, pigmented shaft.
To distinguish it from any DDs, the back of the head affected here is crucial.
I.d.R. regrowth of hair within 120 days after completion of chemotherapy.
