Alopecia is the absence or loss of hair in an area where it is expected to be present. Alopecia can be localized or diffuse, temporary or permanent. It can affect both sexes and all age groups. Recognized as a sign or symptom arising from heterogeneous etiologies, alopecia is broadly classified as nonscarring (the most prevalent), and scarring (cicatricial). Patients may present with significant distress, diminishing their quality of life. A detailed history, physical examination, and focused evaluation are necessary to determine the underlying cause, which will guide decision-making regarding the most appropriate management for the best outcomes. Management of alopecia can be tricky. This activity provides a comprehensive review of assessment and treatment strategies for the most common types of alopecia. This course underscores the pivotal role of the interprofessional team in enhancing patient care and outcomes,
