Women & Hair Loss
Hair loss in women is very common. Goodman Dermatology can help identify the cause, offer treatment options, and provide guidance on what to expect.
Women Experience Hair Loss Differently
Hair loss in women is most often a case of female pattern baldness, which is characterized by the permanent hair loss from the scalp. For women, this often develops along the hair part, starting with a thinning of the hair. Of course, there can still be other forms of hair loss in women, which may not follow the typical female pattern baldness symptoms.
Women & Hair Loss FAQs
If you are experiencing female pattern baldness, the cause of your hair loss is most likely genetics. However, there are other causes of hair loss in women that include pregnancy, disease, and various skin conditions. If you are affected by one of these conditions, your hair loss may fluctuate or stop completely after the condition is treated. Female pattern baldness, on the other hand, cannot be cured, and instead requires regular treatment. No matter what form of hair loss you are experiencing, Goodman Dermatology can help find the best hair loss treatment for female patients.
