Hair Loss
Hair loss can mean increased shedding, thinning hair, a widening parting, a receding hairline, bald patches, or hair coming out in clumps. Some daily hair shedding is normal, but sudden, patchy, or unexplained hair loss may need medical advice to identify the cause. Hair loss can be temporary, related to ageing, or linked to an underlying health condition.
About Hair Loss
Hair Loss Overview
Common causes include genetics, hormonal changes, stress, recent illness, pregnancy, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems, scalp conditions, autoimmune hair loss, medication side effects, and male- or female-pattern hair loss. The pattern, speed, and location of hair loss can help guide what may be causing it.
Mobi Doctor can help with a non-emergency online assessment for hair loss concerns, including thinning hair, increased shedding, bald patches, scalp symptoms, or questions about treatment options. A doctor can review your symptoms, medical history, family history, medication use, lifestyle factors, and whether further tests or specialist referral may be needed.
Seek medical advice promptly if hair loss is sudden, patchy, painful, associated with scalp redness, itching, burning, scaling, fatigue, weight changes, or if it is affecting your well-being. A doctor may be able to identify the cause by reviewing your hair and symptoms, and sometimes blood tests or a dermatology referral may be needed.
