Female hair loss at the edge, temples and edges

Female hair loss occurring in the temple area, on the edge or on the side of the head may be caused by several different diseases.

Frontal fiber alopecia areata

Frontal fibrous alopecia is a newly discovered disease. It was first described in 1994. Features include symmetrical hair loss along the top hairline and on both sides of the scalp. Complete or partial eyebrow loss may also occur. This situation does not happen suddenly. This is a slow, gradual process. The bald area gradually recedes back and forms a "band" around the top and side edges, similar to the receding hairline. The bald head can extend five inches beyond the original hairline. There may be a slight or significant contrast in the appearance of the skin in the affected area. It may appear pale or have minor scratches.

The condition was originally named "postmenopausal frontal fibrous alopecia" because it was originally thought to affect only women of postmenopausal age. It is now also seen in young women. Although it was once considered very rare, it is becoming more and more common. The reason is not clear, but some speculation may involve the immune system and/or the hormonal system.

Because it is a scarring hair loss, scar formation occurs under the surface. The scar forms a closure on the affected hair follicle, making it impossible for the hair follicle to produce hair again. The treatment revolves around stopping progress, rather than trying to re-grow the hair that has been lost. Early intervention is necessary.

Alopecia vomiting

Pox is a more serious and dramatic alopecia areata variant. The pattern of baldness occurs in the temples, behind the ears, along the sides, and extends to the nape of the neck [or the entire occipital region]. The bald area typically first appears in one side or in an area that is gradually joined together to form a band around the periphery of the scalp on the side of the neck area and along the bottom of the neck area. Ophiasis is a Greek word meaning snake, referring to the serpentine pattern that forms as this progresses.

For all forms of alopecia areata, follicles are not destroyed or destroyed, so there is always the possibility of regeneration. The prognosis of ophiasis is not as positive as in the less severe form of the disease, but as long as the follicles are still alive, the chances are there. Early intervention provides better results.

Because it is an autoimmune disease, appropriate treatments include sedation, nourishment and balance [but not over-stimulation] of the immune system, as well as treatment of hair loss itself. Autoimmune diseases require a specific anti-inflammatory diet and may also require elimination of gluten and other possible food allergens. Natural or synthetic agents can be used to promote follicular stimulation and new growth.

Traction hair loss

Traction is one of the most common causes of thinning of female and female ankles. This is because wearing a tightly folded hairstyle for a long time. The sustained tension on the scalp strains the follicles, causing the lower bundle to loosen from the hair follicle. Continued tension can actually damage the hair follicles.

Treatment consists of loosening the hair as much as possible, and using essential oils, coconut oil or jojoba massage areas to provide nutrients and circulation to the follicles. Early detection is necessary because scar formation can occur in this situation. Hair loss is permanent in the event of a scar.
