Hair Loss
Hair loss, also known as alopecia, is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can occur due to a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. Hair loss can manifest as thinning hair, bald patches, or complete baldness, and it can occur on the scalp or other areas of the body.
Symptoms:
- Thinning Hair: Noticeable reduction in hair density, often seen on the scalp.
- Bald Patches: Areas of hair loss that may appear suddenly or gradually.
- Excessive Shedding: Increased hair fall, particularly when brushing or washing hair.
- Change in Hair Texture: Hair may become finer or less healthy-looking.
- Scalp Irritation: Itching or redness may accompany some types of hair loss.
- Receding Hairline: A gradual loss of hair around the forehead or temples.
