Hair loss, or alopecia, is the thinning or loss of hair on the scalp or body. Baldness specifically refers to significant hair loss from the scalp, often resulting in noticeable patches or complete loss of hair.
Factors contributing to hair loss and baldness include genetics, aging, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, stress, and poor nutrition.
Common causes include androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), alopecia areata (an autoimmune disorder), and telogen effluvium (temporary hair shedding due to stress or illness). Treatments vary and can include medications, hair transplants, and lifestyle changes to address underlying causes.
