Anagen Effluvium is generally caused by chemicals, drugs and toxins. Just like the other type of hair loss, Anagen Effluvium can also cause baldness. The diagnosis is usually made by taking a careful history, particularly of recent medicines, and by examining the scalp and shed hair. In anagen effluvium, the end of the hair that comes from the scalp is tapered, narrowed, irregular, or broken off.
On the other hand, the hair does grow normally after using a particular chemicals such as those found in the chemotherapy agents or multiple use of drugs that caused the hair loss.
