TLDR Most hair loss cases are caused by four main conditions, and understanding them is key to treatment.

Stroud stated that telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, traction/chemical alopecia, and androgenetic alopecia were responsible for over 90% of all hair loss cases seen by dermatologists. The author emphasized the importance of a thorough understanding of these hair diseases for effective management of patients experiencing scalp hair loss.
