Alopecia- What Is It?

It is perfectly normal to lose about 100 hairs a day but if you are losing more, you may be be suffering from Alopecia. The good news is that the condition usually corrects itself but sometimes drugs are used. Androgenetic Alopecia (the loss of up to 95% of hair) is a natural phenomenon suffered mostly by men but can affect women also. The cause of Androgenetic Alopecia is that the hair on the scalp is sensitive to the male sex hormone androgen. This hormone cause the follicle to shrink and instead of normal hair, it now can grow only a fine vellus hair.
