The first episode of Season 7 of The Spot Diagnosis Podcast explores the topic of Hair Loss.

Hair loss is a common concern for patients and a frequent reason for GP visits. But when does it require further investigation? What treatments actually work for hair regrowth? In this episode, we break down common conditions like telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss, discussing practical management strategies. Plus, two medical students join us to share their passion for hair health and dermatology.

We would like to thank our Institute Partner, Melbourne Pathology, for their support of the Spot Diagnosis Podcast and our episode partner, Sanofi.
