Hair Loss Management

Every person loses some scalp hair daily. It is normal to lose about 50-100 hairs per day. However, if you see bald patches or visible scalp skin,  you may be experiencing increased hair thinning or 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. Some women may notice hair loss after giving birth and some people after experiencing periods of stress, medical treatments, or new medical conditions.

Infection, nutritional status, hair care practices may also play a role. It is important to be seen to be evaluated for metabolic causes or a primary scarring conditions that require therapy. Scarring conditions are typically diagnosed with a biopsy of the scalp, while metabolic disorders are diagnosed with the patient’s history and blood work.
