EDITOR'S PICK

Alopecia is the medical description of the loss of hair from the head or body, sometimes to the extent of baldness. Unlike the common aesthetic depilation of body hair, alopecia tends to be involuntary and unwelcome, e.g., androgenic alopecia. However, it may also be caused by a psychological compulsion to pull out one′s own hair (trichotillomania) or the unforeseen consequences of voluntary hairstyling routines (mechanical “traction alopecia” from excessively tight ponytails or braids, or burns to the scalp from caustic hair relaxer solutions or hot hair irons).

In some cases, alopecia is an indication of an underlying medical concern, such as iron deficiency.

Dr. Akshay Batra (Trichologist and Deputy MD of Dr Batra′s Positive Health Clinic)

He said, it is normal to lose about 100 strands of hair in a day and if you are losing about 50 to 60 strands a day you are well within the normal limit. But if your hair is breaking and is unacceptably dry, if the density of hair on your scalp has reduced, if you have excessive hair fall and dandruff, if there are some eruptions that you notice on the scalp, it is advisable to see a doctor as there may be an underlying medical condition that causes these problems.
