How do bald spots develop?

The most common cause of hair loss is male and female pattern baldness (an inherited condition also known as androgenetic alopecia). For patients with this condition, hair follicles respond to changing hormone levels, causing them to shrink and eventually stop producing hair. While most people think this is an irreversible condition, the hair follicle shrinkage may not become irreversible if it’s treated in its early stages.

In some patients, stress to the body can cause hair follicles to stop the growth phase prematurely. This condition is called telogen effluvium, and it can result in large chunks of hair falling out all at once. But since these follicles are “hibernating,” they can still recover with the proper treatment.

In alopecia areata, the immune system attacks hair follicles, and patients can develop bald spots on the scalp. This autoimmune disorder can be triggered by viruses, stress, and hormones. But once the inflammation improves, there’s a chance the follicle can recover.

Hair loss is sometimes less complicated. It can be related to poor hair care, deficient nutrition, medications, pregnancy, and metabolic disorders. In most cases, the hair loss will resolve when the trigger is gone.

Even in stubborn cases, patients can try multiple treatments until the right one is found and solves the problem.
