Everyone loses 50-100 hairs off their head each day. Normally, new ones replace lost hairs, but various conditions can result in excessive hair loss. These can include:
Aging and poor nutrition also increase your risk of hair loss, but it can affect anyone.
Some of these conditions are temporary, so the hair grows back after treatment when the stress level or medical condition has improved. But there’s no cure for androgenic alopecia or scarring alopecia.
Some people who experience hair loss face a long journey of searching for remedies to cope before reaching acceptance and may eventually embrace baldness. In the case of permanent hair loss, they may simply decide to remove any remaining hair. But for many others, hair loss significantly affects their self-esteem and confidence.
Prolonged or irreversible hair loss may trigger depression, anxiety, and social isolation. You might experience symptoms like:
It’s common for people to worry that others are laughing at their hair loss or they consider themselves less attractive without hair. You might be afraid of people guessing you wear a wig or fear the questions they might ask about your hair loss.
See a dermatologist or other hair loss expert to determine the cause of your hair loss. You might need medication or help with hair care to address the underlying problem.
