    identifying the cause of hair loss through medical evaluation

    Hair Loss Diagnosis, also known as Alopecia Diagnosis, involves identifying the underlying cause of hair loss through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. This process may include blood tests to check for hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies, scalp biopsies to examine hair follicles, and sometimes imaging studies to rule out other conditions.

      Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.
