Hair Loss Impact Factor

Hair loss, also known as alopecia or baldness, refers to hair loss from the scalp or body parts. Usually at least the head is involved.  The severity of hair loss can vary from a small area to a whole body. Swelling or tingling is rarely present. Some people's hair loss causes mental anguish. Common types include loss of male hair, female pattern, alopecia areata, and hair loss known as telogen effluvium. The cause of loss of male-curly hair is a combination of genetics and male hormones; the cause of the loss of a woman's hair pattern is unclear; the cause of alopecia areata is autoimmune; and the cause of telogen effluvium is usually a stressful physical or mental event. Telogen effluvium is most common following pregnancy.

Common causes of hair loss without swelling or numbness include hair loss, certain medications including chemotherapy, HIV / AIDS, hypothyroidism, and malnutrition including iron deficiency. Causes of hair loss that occur through injury or inflammation include fungus infections, lupus erythematosus, radiation therapy, and sarcoidosis. The diagnosis of partial hair loss depends on the affected areas.
