Alopecia is a loss of density, while hair that falls out usually reappears (renewal).<\/p>\n<p>The three most common forms are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Androgenetic Alopecia: <\/em>the most common in men. It is a genetic and hormonal condition (androgens and hereditary). It starts in adolescence.<\/li>\n<li><em>Telogen effluvium:<\/em> more common in women. It is a sudden loss of a large amount of hair that is likely to cause alarm in the patient (large amounts of hair in the brush, drain after showering&#8230;). Frequent causes are usually physical stress (illness, surgery&#8230;), emotional stress (work stress, loss of a relative&#8230;), anaemia, and hypothyroidism.<\/li>\n<li><em>Alopecia Areata: <\/em>it is an autoimmune form of alopecia. It is most common in children and young adults. It can affect the eyelashes and beard, as well as other hairy areas of the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Practical recommendations:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Wash frequently with shampoo. The use of gels or dyes do not worsen alopecia.<\/li>\n<li>The use of vitamin supplements can be used as a complement to other treatments. Its therapeutic effect has not been established and it can have more of a placebo effect.<\/li>\n<li>Do not cut hair at the root, because the length of the hair does not affect treatment.<\/li>\n<li>Most people lose 50-100 hairs per day as part of the physiological hair growth cycle. Do not be alarmed to see hair on the pillow or in the shower. This phenomenon of \u201chair renewal\u201d is usually accentuated in the autumn and there is no need for concern.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid \u201cmagical\u201d treatments\u201d (lotions, anti-hair loss shampoos, laser treatments, massages) as they have not provided any scientific evidence in the treatment of alopecia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<h6><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asssa.es\/en\/insurance\/health-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ASSSA Health Insurance<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/h6>\n<h6><em>The information published in this media neither substitutes nor complements in any way the direct supervision of a doctor, his diagnosis or the treatment that he may prescribe.
