11 January 20267 min read

[{"type":"paragraph","text":"Hair loss is one of the most common concerns that brings patients to a dermatology clinic. Whether it is gradual thinning on the scalp, receding hairlines, or sudden patches of baldness, losing hair can be a distressing experience. Common causes include androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern hair loss), telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid disorders, and scalp infections. Modern diagnostic tools like trichoscopy help dermatologists assess hair density, miniaturisation, and scalp health. Treatment options range from topical minoxidil and oral finasteride to PRP therapy and nutritional supplementation. Dr. Neha Athalye at DermcareMD provides thorough hair loss evaluation and customised treatment plans."}]
