Shedding and breakage can differ
Thinning, shedding from the roots, broken hairs and patchy loss can have different causes. Itching, scale, redness or pain may also affect the scalp. One shampoo or supplement cannot address every problem; assessment needs to include the scalp as well as the hair.
What information is useful?
Discuss onset, distribution, family history, recent illness, childbirth, weight changes and medicines. Nutrition and tight hairstyles may also be relevant. Bring earlier photographs, existing test results and a list of products used.
Diagnosis and investigations
Examination and, when helpful, trichoscopy can assess hair and scalp findings. Blood tests or a biopsy are requested when indicated rather than as one routine panel for everyone. Prompt assessment matters when a disorder may cause scarring hair loss.
Treatment and monitoring
The cause guides treatment, which may involve managing scalp disease, appropriate medicines or selected additional procedures. PRP and mesotherapy should not be assumed suitable for every type of loss. Response takes time; consistent photographs and follow-up can help. Avoid unsupervised supplements without establishing a need.
Frequently asked questions
Does everyone need blood tests?
No. Your history and examination guide whether tests will help.
