Hair plays an important role in our lives. Hair keeps us warm and acts as a cushion for our skull. Hair appearance also helps shape our identity and self-image. This makes hair loss a great concern. Although most hair conditions are not serious, they are often seen as a major cosmetic problem that requires treatment. Androgenic alopecia is the most common although it is alopecia; there are many other hair conditions that can affect the scalp and other parts of the body. Depending on the type, hair diseases are accompanied by the following signs and symptoms: Alopecia (without scarring) includes hair loss in any or circular area, receding hairline, breakage, smooth scalp, inflammation, and possible loss of eyelashes, eyebrows, or pubic hair. Alopecia (scarring) is confined to certain areas. Symptoms include inflammation at the edges of the lesion and loss of hair follicles toward the center, purple skin abnormalities, and scaling. Hirsutism is male-pattern hair growth, menstrual irregularities, ovulatory disorders, acne, low voice, baldness, and genital abnormalities in women. Symptoms of hair shaft disorders include split ends, dry, brittle and coarse hair, and skin and other abnormalities. This happens when part of the hair is cut off, but the growing end remains in the follicle and continues to grow, resulting in thinner hair. Hair breakage can be caused by over-styling, the use of chemicals in hair treatments (colouring, straightening, perming, etc.), excessive sun exposure, chlorine in swimming pools, or poor diet. Hair loss can be frustrating, reduce quality of life, and cause emotional problems. The loss of normal hair increases the risk of UV exposure and related injuries. A careful history and a complete skin examination can help identify the cause. It may include a lamp test, pustular smears for culture, skin scrapings, hair clippings, and blood tests. Preventing hair loss is important. It is recommended to minimize damage to the hair shaft through lifestyle changes. For example, patients may be instructed to towel dry their hair or allow it to dry naturally instead of using a heat dryer. Reduce chemical processing. Avoid tight hairstyles to reduce mechanical damage. The prognosis for hair loss depends on the cause. Scarring alopecia is irreversible. Growth and telogen hair loss stops over time. Early treatment of pattern baldness can delay hair thinning. Finally, treatment of inflammatory diseases is essential. Commonly known as pattern alopecia, it refers to hereditary (or hereditary) hair loss and accounts for over 95% of cases. It occurs in both men and women at somewhat predictable stages and has been shown to become more progressive as the person ages. Male pattern baldness usually starts at the temples and ends with an "M" shaped hairline. This type of hair loss also leads to hair loss on the crown. Hair loss in women usually begins with thinning hair and slight baldness on the top of the head. This can completely thin the hair on your head. Also called patchy hair loss, it is an immune disorder in which the body attacks its own hair follicles. It causes sudden hair loss in small patches on the scalp, face, or other parts of the body. Alopecia totalis is the scientific name for an advanced form of the condition, in which all hair is lost. Generalized alopecia refers to the loss of all body hair. Diagnosing hair disorders is a complex process and requires medical advice from a specially trained doctor. This includes a personal medical history, family history, examination of scalp conditions, and evaluation of hair loss patterns. Once the correct diagnosis is made, treatment can be started to relieve symptoms or cure certain conditions.
