To determine whether you are suffering from hair loss, the hair loss mentioned here is pathological hair loss, which can be judged according to the number of hair loss, hair density, accompanying symptoms, trichoscopic examination and other ways.
1. The amount of hair loss: according to the growth cycle of hair follicles, it is normal for a person to lose less than 100 hairs per day; if the amount of hair loss is more than 100 hairs per day, it belongs to pathological hair loss.
2. Hair density: Generally, hair will continue to grow after natural hair loss, so the hair density will not be affected; if it is pathological alopecia, it can be clearly seen that the hair becomes sparse, the scalp is exposed, the hairline moves back, and the hair gap becomes wider, and so on.
3. Accompanying symptoms: Normal hair loss is usually not accompanied by other symptoms, while pathologic alopecia may have increased dandruff, red papules, pustules with itching or pain and other symptoms.
4. Trichoscopy: Pathological alopecia can be examined through trichoscopy to check the abnormalities of hair follicles, hair shafts and surrounding skin.
It is recommended that patients with hair loss should go to regular hospitals in time to have a clear cause of the disease and then be treated.
