Hair Loss Management

Everyone loses scalp hair. It is normal to lose about 50-100 hairs daily. If you see bald patches or increased thinning, you may be experiencing true hair loss. Hair loss has many causes and is often multi-factorial in nature. Both men and women may experience hereditary loss that comes with time. Women may notice hair loss after giving birth. People experiencing a lot of stress, medical treatments, or new medical conditions can see noticeable hair loss.  Infection, nutritional status, hair care practices may also play a role. It is important to see a dermatologist for evaluation as there are also primary scarring conditions that require therapy typically diagnosed with a biopsy of the scalp.
