Hair loss is a distressing condition with a significant effect on the patient’s quality of life. While generally does not represent a life-threatening condition, the majority of patients report loss of self-esteem, negative effects on social life, and increased feelings of depression. When the hair loss process is reversed it yields a dramatic improvement in self-image and quality of life.
Hair loss usually represents a diagnostic and treatment challenge, in part due to limitations on evaluation, understanding of pathophysiology, and partial response to treatment, generally requiring various therapeutic modalities. Moreover, there are a number of different conditions that can potentially lead to hair loss.
In recent years, there have been advances in the clinical and histological diagnosis, and management of hair loss processes therefore we propose this Research Topic with the aim of reviewing current and emerging evidence on pathophysiology, histology, clinical guidelines, current and emerging therapeutic approaches for the management of hair loss disorders.
