Female Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)
Female baldness occurs when hair falls out and is not replaced by new growth. It often begins with gradual thinning, especially around the top and crown of the head, while the frontal hairline typically remains intact. Unlike men, women rarely experience complete baldness. Female pattern baldness usually progresses through the following stages:
- Grade I: Central thinning of the scalp hair, but the skin is not yet visible.
- Grade II: More pronounced thinning, with the scalp becoming visible.
- Grade III: Severe thinning, leading to frank baldness with noticeable areas of hair loss.
Cicatricial Alopecia
Cicatricial Alopecia, also known as scarring alopecia, is a rare and severe condition in which hair follicles are destroyed, often leading to permanent hair loss. It can affect both men and women. Early detection is challenging, and if left untreated, it can have devastating effects, including scarring that prevents hair from regrowing. This condition often progresses without obvious symptoms in the beginning, making timely treatment crucial.
Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is a type of hair loss caused by a compulsive urge to pull, twist, or break hair strands. This impulse control disorder primarily affects females, with research indicating that around 4% of the population may experience it. Symptoms often begin with hair loss in round patches, leading to an uneven appearance across the scalp. Hair pulling may also target the eyebrows, eyelashes, or body hair. Individuals with trichotillomania often experience related conditions such as depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
