Hair Loss
Hair loss, or alopecia, is a common condition that can affect both men and women. It can result
from a variety of causes, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, medical conditions,
and poor nutrition. The most common type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia (pattern
baldness), which is hereditary.
Alopecia areata
It is an autoimmune disorder. The body’s immune system attacks healthy hair follicles, small, pocket-like holes in our skin that grow hair. Injury to the follicles results in hairloss.
Persistent patchy areata
Patchy hair loss continues but does not improve or worsen over time, persistent patchy alopecia areata. It’s caused by the same factors that lead to alopecia areata.
Alopecia universalis
This is the most severe form of alopecia areata, it is an autoimmune disorder. The immune system attacks all hair follicles, leading to complete hair loss on the scalp as well as the entire body.
Diffuse alopecia areata
Sudden, widespread thinning of hair leading to hair fall out in scattered areas around the scalp. Causes may include stress, hormonal changes and medication side effects.
Ophiasis alopecia
It is an autoimmune disorder seen in young people that mostly affects the sides and back of the scalp.
Androgenic alopecia
A common genetic condition that affects people of all genders.
