Condition Overview
Hair loss is broadly called alopecia and there are causes that require specialist assessment and treatment. You may notice one of the following patterns of hair loss:
- Diffuse (generalised thinning of the hair),
- Hair shedding (hair left on pillows or clothes)
- Localised (separate bald patches)
- Receding hairline (hairline moving back at the temples or the forehead).
Hair loss is broadly divided into non-scarring and scarring alopecia. Scarring alopecia refers to the irreversible destruction of the hair follicles, which means that lost hair cannot be restored. To prevent this, early assessment and treatment is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Alopecia can be a result of stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies, the immune system attacking the hair follicles, genetics or fungal infections.
Telogen Effluvium
Telogen effluvium is hair shedding that causes thinning hair all over the scalp. This form of alopecia can occur rapidly following illness, post child birth, or after a stressful event. It can also occur progressively following nutritional deficiencies or a long term illness.
Patterned Hair Loss or Androgenetic Alopecia
This common condition often occurs in older adults, but can occasionally develop in young adults and children. For men, the condition presents as thinning of the hair on the crown along with a receding hairline. For women, it presents as thinning of the hair on the top of the scalp, which causes the parting to look wider.
Alopecia Areata
This condition presents as smooth bald patches that appear suddenly on the scalp, due to the body’s immune system attacking the hair follicles. It can develop if there is a family history of autoimmune disorders such as vitiligo, thyroid disease or diabetes.
Tinea Capitis
This condition is a fungal infection of the scalp and is most commonly seen in children. It can cause pus, discharge and hair loss in a part of the scalp. It can result in permanent, irreversible hair loss, therefore early treatment is essential.
