    Glossary Patterned Occipital Alopecia

    hair loss at the back of the head in a specific pattern

    Patterned Occipital Alopecia (POA) refers to a specific type of hair loss that occurs in the occipital region of the scalp, which is the area at the back of the head. This condition is characterized by a distinct pattern of thinning or balding, often linked to genetic factors, hormonal changes, or underlying medical conditions. It is important for both laypersons and professionals to recognize this pattern to differentiate it from other types of alopecia and to determine appropriate treatment options.
