The Difficult Hair Loss Patient

  • 1346 Accesses

Abstract

As with any medical problem, the patient complaining of hair loss requires a comprehensive medical and drug history, physical examination of the hair and scalp, and appropriate laboratory evaluation to identify the cause. The clinician also has a host of diagnostic techniques that enable classification of the patient’s disorder as a shedding disorder or a decreased density disease and documentation of true pathology or only perceived pathology.
