Hair Thinning in Men
Online intake — Additional evaluation may be required
Thinning describes a change in visible density or hair caliber. It is a description, not a diagnosis.
Overview
The review includes when thinning began, whether it is diffuse or localized, recent illness or weight changes, nutritional history, and medicines. Photographs taken under similar lighting document the pattern for clinical review.
Signs and Symptoms
- More scalp visible through hair
- A change in hair caliber
- Diffuse or localized density changes
- Noticeable shedding
Common Questions
How should I describe shedding?
Record when it started, whether it was sudden, and whether there are scalp symptoms. Include recent illness, surgery, dietary changes, and new or discontinued medicines without assuming any one event is the cause.
