The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) remarks that 80 million women and men in America have genetic hair loss (alopecia). It can affect your entire body or just the hair on your scalp. While it’s more common in older adults, but extreme hair loss can arise in children as well.
According to Kids Health, it’s common to drop between 50 and 100 hair a day. With about 100,000 hairs on your head, that little loss is not noticeable. New hair usually replaces the lost hair, but this doesn’t always happen. Hair loss can increase slowly over years or happen suddenly. Hair loss can be temporary or permanent.
It is not possible to calculate the quantity of hair loss on a given day. You may be losing more hair than is usual if you notice a huge amount of hair in the drain after washing your hair or clumps of hair in your brush. You may also see thinning patches of hair or baldness. If you notice that you are losing more hair than normal, you should talk about this problem with your doctor. They can find the underlying cause of your hair loss and propose suitable treatment plans. Read more…
