    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology and Endocrinology
    • Hair Biology and Pathology

    Context:

    • Diffuse alopecia presents a complex clinical picture with varied underlying causes.
    • Distinguishing it from other hair loss types like male pattern baldness is crucial.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the diverse etiologies of diffuse alopecia.
    • To categorize current treatment modalities.
    • To emphasize the importance of diagnostic confirmation.

    Summary:

    • Diffuse alopecia results from endocrinological, andrological, thyroid dysfunction, or drug side effects.
    • Treatment options include hormonal therapies (cyproterone), vitamins (B5, B8), amino acids (cystine), and topical agents (minoxidil).
    • Diagnosis via biological tests, trichograms, and biopsies is essential for targeted and effective treatment duration.
