Causes range from genetics and hormonal imbalances to infections or autoimmune disorders. Diagnosis and treatment involve understanding underlying factors and may include medications, topical treatments, lifestyle changes, or surgery. Identifying symptoms promptly is crucial for effective management of these diverse conditions.

Telogen Effluvium

Telogen effluvium is a temporary hair loss condition triggered by significant stressors like childbirth, illness, surgery, or extreme weight loss. It disrupts the hair growth cycle, causing increased shedding but typically resolves on its own over time.

Male Pattern Hair Loss

Male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in men. It’s characterized by a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, caused by genetic and hormonal factors. Treatment options include medications like finasteride and minoxidil, as well as hair transplant surgery for more severe cases.

Female Pattern Hair Loss

Female pattern hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia in women, is a common condition characterized by thinning of hair primarily at the crown and widening of the part. It’s influenced by genetic and hormonal factors, often leading to decreased hair density over time. Treatment options include topical minoxidil, oral medications like spironolactone, and low-level laser therapy to promote hair regrowth.

Alopecia Areata / चाई लागणे

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes sudden hair loss, typically in patches on the scalp, but it can also affect eyebrows, eyelashes, and other body hair. The exact cause is unknown, but it’s believed to involve genetic and environmental factors. Treatment may include corticosteroid injections, topical immunotherapy, or systemic medications to suppress the immune response and stimulate hair regrowth.

Cicatricial Alopecia

Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition presenting as itchy, purple bumps on skin or mucous membranes. Treatment involves corticosteroids, antihistamines, and phototherapy for symptom relief and inflammation reduction.
