Overview
Hair plays an important role in human life. Quantitative or qualitative changes of hair are therefore perceived unfavorably. The psychological consequences of hair loss are described in both androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata. Alopecia areata should be distinguished from other diagnostic units such as trichotillomania. The issue of hair disease requires a multidisciplinary collaboration, in which the dermatologist has a key role to play.
