What is alopecia?

source

First, reconsider the word "Alopecia" Don't be afraid it is not a disease but in some cases, it is considered a disease. Alopecia means complete or partial hair loss, when I discovered it as a hair loss, I thought it to be a subset or effect of the disease cancer, but Nay, it is not a subset and not a direct effect of cancer but it could be a side effect of cancer disease. Just like a doctor wouldn't call headache a disease so it is to Alopecia.

I see a lot of women lose hair as they age, the loss of hair could be sometime hereditary that is if your parent had a patchy hair gene, Alopecia is common in women and this could be seen during hormonal changes, especially if a woman has reached menopause, during pregnancy and childbirth, medical conditions like ringworm could also lead to these symptoms, infections and tight hairstyles in females and poor nutrition could also result in alopecia.

Write about patterns of alopecia.

Alopecia has a pattern and I will be listing some of them here but permit me to diversify a bit to traction alopecia.
Traction Alopecia; As stated earlier it is caused as a result of most women's habit of tying their hair so tight that on losing they experience hair LOSS. In essence, some form of alopecia depends on our activities and some depend on the site of infection.

The patterns of alopecia below are self-explanatory

Patchy, Diffuse, Linear, Rectangular, Symmetrical and Asymmetrical, Linear

Write about the treatment of alopecia.

Treat hair loss

Remember you are treating to regain hair loss and this depends on the severity and the cause, so looking at the treatment of alopecia all processing is medical that is it involves one medication or the other.

Medication like minoxidil can help stimulate hair growth and corticosteroids could help for some hair that is being held tightly.

Light therapy: if feel this has something to do with the biological aspect here, a photobiomodulation is done to stimulate hair growth. Other therapies could be helpful like some herbal remedies.

Your diet could contribute to your hair loss, so a change of diet or an improvement in your diet is necessary because hair loss could be a result of your diet lacking some micro and major elements like iron and zinc.

In tackling your hair growth, we must meet a professional who can give us the right prescription, I don't advise us to move blindly in finding solutions for people around us with this condition.
