Hair Loss Treatment

Alopecia areata tends to occur in small, round bald spots. Hair loss or bald patches usually occur on the scalp but can also affect other areas such as eyebrows, eyelashes and beard. If hair loss occurs at a point only, usually in the head, is known as alopecia areata monolocularis. If the hair is lost in the entire scalp is alopecia totalis. If hair loss occurs in the entire body, including pubic hair, this condition is called alopecia universalis.

Telogen effluvium is a condition characterized by a sudden loss of hair as a result of an interruption in the normal growth cycle of hair. The hair begins to thin and fall usually from the scalp, which is more sensitive when you wash or comb her hair.

It is caused by pulling (traction chronic) the hair follicle and samples of this type of hair loss involve tension headaches, itchy scalp, red, bald patches at random and hair breakage around the scalp.
