Temporary hair loss may occur together with a high fever, a severe illness, iron
deficiency, thyroid disorders, general anesthesia, hormonal imbalance, drug treatments, extreme stress and in women
after a childbirth.
Hair loss is often a particular symptom of many different
diseases, although it can also occur with the stress of an illness. The pattern of hair loss differs in most people
and is unlike male pattern baldness. Hair loss is often the first and only manifestation of many diseases and
usually, the majority of hair comes back when the disease has gone or is being adequately treated. Diseases such as
Addison’s disease, Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism, Iron Dieciencym Scarring, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Secondary
Syphilis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Vitiligo and others are associated with hair loss.
Hair loss can be the result from a poor diet or a rapid weight loss. You should
go back to a nutritious diet and consult with your doctor.
Alopecia prematura is a type of hair loss that begins early in adulthood, late teens or early
twenties, and has all sorts of patterns and degrees up to almost total baldness of the scalp. The cause of
alopecia prematura lies in one's heredity.
Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss that is due to
chronic and excessive pulling on the air. It usually occurs in people who braid or knot their hair
tightly.
Trichotillomania involves the pulling out if
healthy hair intentionally. It is a usually a temporary, personal habit that has no permanent consequence. It can
be a symptom of a serious emotional or psychiatric problem, mostly seen in children and adults. It involves one
pulling out individual strands of hair, usually from the scalp, although eyebrows, eyelashes and pubic hair can
also be involved. The hair is usually manipulated such as being wrapped around a finger in a ritualized type of
way.
Alopecia areata involves patches of baldness. This is
usually in small circular areas on the scalp and it is quite common, affecting 1 in 100 people in the US. Experts
belive it to be autoimmune, meaning the body’s cells (in this instance the pailla/bulb area) and antibodies attack
themselves. The causes of this condition remain unexplained.
Alopecia areata is a condition that usually occurs in young
adults and can occur in men and women equally though it is more common in men in Italy and Spain. Some 80% of
people with this type of alopecia have hair re-growth eventually, although many people have recurrent battles with
this disease. In most cases the hair grows back, however it may be very fine and possibly white before normal
coloration and thickness return.
