Alopecia is a medical condition characterized by hair loss from areas of the scalp or body. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, autoimmune disorders, certain medications, fungal infections, hormonal imbalances, and more. The most common type of alopecia is androgenetic alopecia, which is caused by a combination of genetics and hormones. Treatment options for alopecia vary and may include topical medications, injections, laser therapy, and even surgery. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as managing stress levels and eating a balanced diet can also help reduce hair loss. Regardless of the cause, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional to determine which treatment option is best for you.
