  • Medical professionals should distinguish hair loss from breakage of the hair shaft from hair loss due to decreased hair growth.
  • Common balding (androgenetic alopecia) occurs in men and women and is due to the effect of testosterone metabolites in genetically susceptible hair follicles.
  • Thyroid diseaseanemia, protein deficiency, secondary syphilischemotherapy, and low vitamin levels may cause hair loss.
  • Alopecia areata is a form of hair loss produced by the autoimmune destruction of hair follicles in localized areas of skin.
