hair loss caused by an underlying condition or external factor

Secondary alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs as a result of an underlying condition or external factor, rather than a primary hair disorder. This can include causes such as infections, inflammatory diseases, medications, or physical trauma to the scalp. For example, someone undergoing chemotherapy might experience secondary alopecia due to the effects of the treatment on hair follicles.
