Red flags? Start here

Do not reduce every hair loss story to ordinary shedding or cosmetic thinning. These clues deserve earlier evaluation:

  • Scalp pain, burning, tenderness, or stinging
  • Pustules, crusting, open sores, or possible infection
  • Rapid patchy loss or smooth shiny scalp change
  • Heavy scale with hair loss
  • Eyebrow or eyelash loss together with scalp hair loss
