Alopecia or Hair Loss
Excessive hair fall may be due to natural factors which are usually temporary like that following pregnancy, illness, stressful events in life,
surgery, change in environment, etc. These are called telogen effluvium.
Other causes of hair loss are male and female pattern baldness which is genetically programmed,alopecia areata (autoimmune),
cicatricial(scarring)alopecia, trichotillomania(psychosomatic).
Alopecia can thus range from being a very simple transient hair loss to a pointer to internal diseases. It is thereby imperative that a doctor
be able to identify and therefore rectify the cause of alopecia. This ability rests with qualified skin specialist under whose domain the skin
appendage hair is.
