  • Dermatology
  • Trichology

Background:

  • Hair disorders are frequently encountered in primary care settings.
  • Common conditions include male pattern baldness, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and trichotillomania.
  • Fungal infections affecting the hair shaft are also prevalent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of common hair disorders seen in primary care.
  • To discuss the normal anatomy and life cycle of hair.
  • To aid healthcare providers in diagnosing and managing these conditions.

Main Methods:
