If more than 100 hairs fall out per day, but they fall out with the hair follicle, and also in the case when hair falls out not only on the head, but also on other parts of the body, then you need to undergo an examination immediately.

Alexandra Fileva, a dermatovenerologist, spoke about possible causes of baldness, writes Doctor Peter .

As the doctor noted, the first reason is stress.

When you are stressed, your hormones, especially adrenaline and cortisol, are out of balance. Blood circulation in the scalp is disrupted, and the follicles do not receive proper nutrition.

The result is hair loss.

Another cause of the problem is seborrheic dermatitis, when the skin produces too much sebum. As a result, nutrition is disrupted, the person constantly scratches the skin due to itching, and also pulls out hairs.

But these are not all the reasons.

Fileva added that sometimes the reason may be a strict diet, when the body does not receive a sufficient amount of nutrients.

Drugs used to treat cancer can also cause hair loss.

The specialist emphasized that the problem is not always related to health. Sometimes hair begins to fall out due to improper care. For example, after traumatic care procedures or when using a hard comb.
