    hair loss caused by prolonged pressure on the scalp

    Pressure Alopecia, also known as Pressure-Induced Alopecia or Postoperative Alopecia, is a type of hair loss that occurs due to prolonged pressure on a specific area of the scalp. This condition is often seen in patients who have undergone lengthy surgical procedures where the head remains in a fixed position for an extended period, leading to restricted blood flow and subsequent hair follicle damage in the affected area.

      The conversation discusses using cetirizine (Zyrtec) topically to relieve scalp itch associated with hair loss and suggests it may also benefit androgenetic alopecia (AGA). One person found relief from scalp itch after three months on finasteride, noting the itch was linked to areas where hair was lost.
