    hair loss caused by bacterial scalp infections

    Bacterial Alopecia refers to hair loss caused by bacterial infections of the scalp. These infections can damage hair follicles, leading to inflammation and subsequent hair shedding. Common bacteria involved include Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause folliculitis, an infection of the hair follicles. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to eliminate the bacterial infection and measures to promote scalp health.
