Hair Loss Treatment
There are several factors that can contribute to hair loss, such as stress, and hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy. The most common cause is hereditary hair loss.
What Causes Hair Loss?
Everyone is vulnerable to losing hair at some point. There are a number of different factors that can cause mild to severe hair loss, either gradually or over a shorter period of time.
The good news is that most forms of hair loss can be treated successfully by a dermatologist. The first step in treating hair loss is to determine the underlying cause, which generally involves a physical examination of your hair and scalp, and a detailed medical history to identify potential genetic, medical, or lifestyle factors that may be contributing to hair loss. Some of the most common causes of hair loss include:
Alopecia (hereditary hair loss) – Alopecia areata is believed to be caused by an autoimmune condition. Cicatricial alopecia results when scar tissue develops on the hair follicles.
