Book cover Kanerva’s Occupational Dermatology

Abstract

  • External factors may result in hair loss, increased hair growth, or changes in the color and texture of the hair.

  • External factors responsible for hair loss are drugs, radiation, traction, fungi, pesticides, plant toxins, heavy metals, and several other chemicals.

  • Several groups of drugs may be responsible for unintentional induction of hair growth.

  • Texture and color of hair may be changed by drugs, metals, and ultraviolet and other radiation.

  • Full recovery is the rule after elimination of the responsible factor.
