Hair Loss:
- 1. Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as male or female pattern baldness, this is the most common cause of hair loss. It is hereditary and results in a gradual thinning of hair. Treatment: Medications like minoxidil and finasteride, hair transplantation, laser therapy, and cosmetic solutions like wigs or hairpieces.
- 2. Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in patchy hair loss. Treatment: Corticosteroid injections, topical immunotherapy, minoxidil, and in severe cases, systemic immunosuppressive medications.
- 3. Telogen Effluvium: A condition characterized by excessive shedding of hair due to stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medications. Treatment: Identifying and addressing the underlying cause, managing stress, improving nutrition, and using minoxidil if necessary.
- 1. Fungal Nail Infections: Caused by fungal overgrowth, these infections can make the nails thick, brittle, discolored, or crumbly. Treatment: Antifungal medications (oral or topical), proper nail hygiene, avoiding prolonged moisture exposure, and keeping nails trimmed.
- 2. Nail Psoriasis: Psoriasis can affect the nails, causing pitting, discoloration, thickening, crumbling, and detachment. Treatment: Topical corticosteroids, calcipotriol, systemic medications (if necessary), phototherapy, and keeping nails trimmed.
- 3. Beau's Lines: Horizontal grooves or depressions on the nails often caused by illness, injury, malnutrition, or chemotherapy. Treatment: Addressing the underlying cause, maintaining good nutrition, protecting the nails from trauma, and allowing the nails to grow out.
