Baldness :
Baldness can be referred to as a condition in which there is a loss of hair. There are many types of baldness, like male pattern baldness, telogen effluvium, female pattern baldness, and alopecia areata. Baldness will be permanent or temporary. The baldness can be caused by thinning of hair due to older age, heredity, hormonal changes, emotional stress, medical conditions, physical stress, and fungal infections of the scalp. The symptoms that can be observed in case of baldness can be thinning of hair, hairline moving backwards, hair fall, and bald patches. Baldness can be diagnosed based on the physical examination, punch biopsy, and medical history. A culture is also done. The treatment done for baldness involves medications to improve hair growth, scalp reduction, transplantation of hair, platelet rich plasma (PRP), skin grafts, and skin lifts. There are a few surgical methods used to treat baldness, such as flap surgery, hair transplant, scalp reduction, and scalp expansion.
