What is it? |
|
Most permanent baldness is due to a common hereditary condition – sometimes combined with other factors such as stress, poor diet or poor circulation – that affects men more than women. Thinning can start as early as the teens. Women are rarely as severely affected, and usually not until after the menopause. Temporary baldness can be caused by anaemia, a deficiency of the thyroid hormone, scalp infection, illness or pregnancy.
