Alopecia means hair loss anywhere in the body in which it has previously. It should be remembered that human beings have hair all over the body except the palms and soles of the feet, although in some areas, hair can not be seen with the naked eye.
There are several classifications for alopecia. One of them, it is very easy to understand, is that hair loss divided into two groups according to the chances of recovery, so that one side is the scarring alopecia and other non-scarring alopecia.
In the first group there is no possibility to recover medical hair (yes they could be susceptible to surgical treatment), as there is an irreversible destruction of the hair follicle. This kind of alopecia may occur during physical trauma, thermal or chemical (accidents, burns), infections that affect the area where is located the follicle and various diseases.
The second group is due to a number of causes. In all of the hair follicle involvement is temporary and therefore some theoretical possibilities to recover the hair, either spontaneously or through an appropriate medical treatment.
Within this second group of non-scarring alopecia highlight two main subclasses having the highest prevalence and because of the significant psychological impact involving *: it is alopecia areata, commonly called bare, and androgenic alopecia, also known as common baldness.
Alopecia areata is so named because the hair loss usually affects an area now called "bald." May occur with a single localized bald scalp, eyebrows or beard, with several bald in those areas or affect the entire scalp (alopecia araeta total) or the entire body (alopecia areata universal). Has a strong psychological impact as hair loss occurs suddenly.
In the next post will discuss the causes and treatments that are being implemented and investigated for alopecia areata and then begin to analyze the characteristics of androgenetic alopecia, which is undoubtedly the most common of all and also the sight in the office .
* Remember that the hair has no vital function for humans, beyond physical protection from the sun, but psychological importance impossible to estimate and varies in each case.
Comments:
n my case, with androgenic alopecia, which has the real influence of genetics? (My parents and grandparents never experienced baldness), the effect could be a long-term medication? (Eg 30 years ago took warfarin-type anticoagulant, due to cardiac surgery.)
Although I think I went ahead to publish the next post.
I'll be awaiting your response.
2 years ago I was diagnosed with telogen effluvium caused by stress, and lost a huge amount of hair in the 6-month period. While I was 5 months and fall back again, this time without cause and something more mild. I was diagnosed with a new outpouring. And now, when they spent a few months and I'm recovering, I again have a very sharp drop (about 200 hairs a day). I have conducted tests and everything is Ok. "You might have some kind of chronic illness? This will happen every 6 months for all my life? I am very very worried and I'm fected the character.
Thank you in advance.
Telogen effluvium can be caused by different factors acting on the hair, between 4 and 16 weeks before they take place falling. Anxiety situations are a major cause. You must perform a thorough history and a complete analysis to try to fix triggers hair loss and establishing a treatment that favors the recruitment. I hope that with your doctor, get it. A greeting.
HOLA
I have 30 years, women
I suffer from alopecia for some time, whenever I have the hair finer and less concentrated
I notice more and more the lack of Canello
I've been using minoxidil5% 10 months, but I have not noticed much change
I thought of myself Microline,
My question is whether it is damaging to the hair the microlines
hello
I have 23 years, I have dreadlocks for 4 and I'm starting to remove those, but I've noticed I have a lot clearer, I read that the drop is permanent, that is true? not going to recover anything that I have lost hair ? not ... you can not do nothing?
Hi, Eva.
The use of microlines to improve hair density involves an additional difficulty for any local treatment accompanied by a proper hair hygiene to prevent the progression of the alopecia. On the other hand requires very careful and skilled professionals to avoid repeated trauma to the hair that remains today.
A cordial greeting.
Hello,
I have 21 years and started using minoxidil as a prevention (less than 6 months that I use) at the entrances to keep the smallest hair. On the other hand, my brother and my father suffer from common baldness and in view of this I decided to prevent rather than cure.
My problem is when I started using minoxidil in the crown area, until then nothing affected, ye have been progressively lost hair density when I see my hair thinning and before using the product was well populated. I notice a difference in density between the crown and other parts of the hair and worries me because I have hair that is strong and hard.
Any advice on what I should do and think about what is happening to me? Thanks
I need all the comfort and empathy in the world. I'll write my case in detail because I'm going to go crazy. Took 13 years of antidepressant treatment. In my teens I had a brutal amount of hair but with the first rules I had a strong fall and I had a lot of bleeding and lasted about 12 days. At that time also suffered burlimia. After the fall but I was sent this panic for the fall. Since I had a lot hair nobody noticed except me of my fall. Since then always afraid of the fall and on top of which I am obsessed with whole ordeal. As 30 years or so a specialist dermatologist told me I would stay bald never even looked at me surprised by the query. By then I no longer had the same hair in their teens but I can confirm that even half so I had no clearcut. After that consultation take off my concern for several years and at no time did not notice hair loss. This January I had a change of antidepressant medication, now I elontril 300 but has not met the targets set and have been since then with a lot of stress and obsession with hair. Now I will change it to fluoxetine. This year I have noticed for the first time (I have 35 years) clearcut some feeling that people do not appreciate but I myself or a dermatologist if. My hair is curly and strong but I notice that the root is something finer and of course the line of hair that was previously tupidisima now do not know.
The dermatologist saw me and I was prescribed angustiadisima lacovin 5% for six months every day. I asked last week about completísimos analysis of which I have no result yet. I want to ask several things since my case:
- Androgenetic alopecia has a very clear diagnosis at first glance and without further questions or blood test?
- Lacovin 5% if I use it and leave after a few months I can have a rebound effect and still lose more hair?
- The only thing that makes this solution is to thicken the hair and as much born some lint? "Really slows the fall? If there was a misdiagnosis and used this product would affect negatively? What are its effects?
please i need a clear and empathetic urgently. thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience.
Dear Valentina:
Answer their questions:
- Clinical diagnosis (visual) is most often enough.
- No rebound but lost the benefits achieved.
- Minoxidil can stop hair loss strengthen it.
Hector:
Rarely minoxidil can have a paradoxical effect (opposite to that intended) but could also match the beginning of its application to an activation of alopecia in the area.
Greetings

Hi I would like to tell me what disease I have since I started falling hair and now I am is falling eyebrows and body hair by
Dear Mar:
Yes, a month is usually sufficient under normal conditions. Is certainly a very broad term and therefore would give time for the scabs fall off remaining where we make the incisions to enter the follicular units and the occurrence of postoperative edema, also reaches for a correction, which completion of 30 days there would be no sign that shows that there has been a transplant.
July:
I think you need to consult a dermatologist, who may make an accurate diagnosis of your case.
A cordial greeting.
Doctor:
Took several months with dreadlocks (dreads)
I know what's true and not in what we produce alopecia.

Genetic predisposition is one of the two determining factors for developing male pattern baldness. The other is the hormonal factor. In addition there are secondary factors that can trigger the process when it is dormant or aggravate it when it is running.
A greeting.
