HAIR LOSS -
Naturally,
there is a shedding of our hair and after shedding the hair grows naturally.
Nowadays due to an excessive increase in pollution hair loss or thinning of
hair is common. But if the hair loss is hereditary then there are about 95%
chances that baldness will occur which are also termed as alopecia. In this
case, the trait from the mothers' family is mainly responsible, means if the
maternal grandfather has baldness, then there are higher chances the grandson
will also have baldness.
Commonly,
in case of genetic cause of baldness, the hair loss pattern starts from the top
of the scalp, and then on the sides, thus, leaving a horseshoe pattern of the
hair on the scalp. Generally, medications are used to slow down the time of
hair loss, but it will not help in the growth of hair. The only permanent
solution is surgery which is known as hair transplantation.
Hair loss
can also occur due to medical issues like HIV, AIDS, hypothyroidism and
malnutrition. However, we need to understand the difference between male and
female hair loss, for example, male pattern hair loss is mainly due to male
hormones and genetic reasons, but the hair loss in females are mostly traction
alopecia.

patients different tests are done —

pulled out from the scalp and put it under the microscope. The hair is pulled
out in different groups from different regions if each group consists of more
than 10 hairs, the test is positive.
• The pluck test - in this test the hairs from
the scalp is plucked from roots and are placed under the microscope. This test
confirms the phase of growth to detect telogen effluvium.
• Scalp biopsy - this test is performed when
there is a negative pull test.
• Trichoscopy- in this test, a dermatoscope
is used.
