Hair loss is a common presentation to Australian GPs and GP registrars. It is often the first sign of serious systemic disease and may carry with it a heavy psychological burden.
This workshop will ensure that practitioners are well-positioned to diagnose hair loss early and initiate timely treatment, improving patients’ long-term outcomes.
This workshop is developed and delivered by specialist dermatologist, Dr Jane Li and facilitated by GP, Dr Laxmi Iyengar.
Topics covered in this session are:
Outline fundamental hair anatomy and physiology
Review the pathophysiology of the different types of alopecia and how they may present on trichoscopic hair and scalp examination
