Hair Loss
In dermatology, the term "alopecia" is commonly used to refer to hair loss, characterized by either partial or complete hair loss in areas where hair typically grows. Hair loss may be temporary or permanent and can occur on the scalp or elsewhere on the body. Dermatologists assess hair loss through various methods, including physical exams, reviewing medical history, and sometimes performing blood tests or skin biopsies.
