Hair Loss
In dermatology, hair loss is commonly referred to as alopecia. Alopecia is a condition characterized by the partial or complete loss of hair from areas where it is normally present. Hair loss can occur on the scalp or other parts of the body, and it may be temporary or permanent.
Dermatologists use various diagnostic methods, including physical examinations, medical history reviews, and sometimes blood tests or skin biopsies, to determine the cause of hair loss in individual cases.
