Alopecia
Noticing that hair is falling out more than usual or that areas of lower density appear may be due to alopecia, a term that groups together different forms of hair loss. It can affect the scalp or also other areas of the body.
Common causes: hereditary factors, hormonal changes, stress, certain skin conditions, and general imbalances of the body can influence its appearance.
How it presents: from diffuse thinning of the hair to rounded bald areas or a receding hairline.
Who to see? The dermatologist is the professional who studies the scalp and provides guidance on the possible causes; in some cases they work together with the endocrinologist. If the hair loss worries you or worsens, consulting a specialist helps understand what is causing it.
