Abstract

Alopecia is defined as the reversible or irreversible loss of hair follicles causing a diffuse loss of localized or hair density. They are classified as primary or secondary alopecia (caused by external agents). Primary alopecias are clasiffied into non-scarring alopecia (follicle is conserved) and scarring alopecia (hair follicle is destroyed being replaced with scar tissue). Effluviur, another hair disorder, are defined by a hair shedding, greater than physiological, causing or not a reduction in hair density. In this paper, we do a general approach to the patient consulting for hair loss, as well as specific treatment of the most common alopecia in our environment.
