HAIR LOSS

 

HAIR LOSS - SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES

SYMPTOMS 

Hair loss can manifest itself in a variety of ways, depending on the cause. It might strike abruptly or gradually, and it can affect your entire body or just your scalp.

The following are some of the signs and symptoms of hair loss:

On top of the skull, there is a gradual thinning. 

This is the most prevalent type of hair loss, which occurs as people become older. Hair begins to recede near the hairline on the forehead in men. In most cases, women's hair has a broadening of the part. A receding hairline is an increasingly common hair loss trend in older women (frontal fibrosing alopecia).

Bald areas that are round or spotty.

 On the scalp, beard, and brows, some people lose hair in circular or spotty bald areas. Before the hair falls out, your skin may become uncomfortable or unpleasant.

Hair loss that occurs suddenly.

Hair might loosen as a result of a physical or mental trauma. When combing or washing your hair, or even after light tugging, a few strands of hair may fall out. Hair thinning is common with this form of hair loss, although it is only temporary.

Hair loss all over the body.

Hair loss can occur as a result of some medical diseases and treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer. Hair normally regrows on its own.

Scaling patches that extend throughout the scalp.

This is a ringworm symptom. Broken hair, redness, swelling, and leaking are all possible symptoms.

CAUSES;

On average, people lose 50 to 100 hairs per day. Because new hair grows in at the same time, this is usually undetectable. Hair loss happens when the hair that has fallen out is not replaced by new hair.
