Hair loss in skin of color patients
1Department of Dermatology, Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Temple University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Abstract:
Hair loss can be distressing for patients regardless of race, gender, or age. There are unique nuances when diagnosing, treating, and understanding the hair care practices of black patients. Treatment regimens are largely anecdotal for some of the most common types of alopecia affecting those with skin of color. The key to treatment compliance is setting expectations at the beginning of the hair loss investigation journey and developing a partnership with the patient. The treatments and diagnoses discussed herein are not a comprehensive list but represent some of the more common conditions and initial approaches to treatment.
