Losing some hair every day is normal, but noticeable shedding, a widening parting or thinning at the crown can point to a problem. Common causes include genetic (pattern) hair loss, stress, thyroid problems, nutritional deficiencies and scalp conditions.
A dermatologist examines the scalp and hair, and may suggest blood tests, to understand what is driving the hair loss. Treatment is then planned around that cause and may combine medicines with in-clinic treatments that support hair growth.
When to See a Dermatologist
