Hair loss commonly referred to as alopecia or baldness is the loss of hair on one's head or body. At the very least, the head is usually engross. Hair loss can range in intensity from a small patch to the entire body. In most cases, there is no inflammation or scarring. Some persons experience psychological anguish as a result of hair loss. Alopecia aerates, male- or female-pattern hair loss, and telogen effluvium, or thinning hair, are all common types. Hair loss that mostly affects the top and front of the scalp is known as pattern hair loss. Hair loss in male-pattern hair loss (MPHL) often manifests as a receding front hairline, hair loss on the crown (vertex) of the head, or a combination of the two.
