Synopsis

Alopecia is the general medical term for hair loss. There are many types of hair loss with different symptoms and causes. Alopecias are an elusive, complex, and difficult group of diseases to diagnose and treat.

This book provides clinicians with the latest information and advances in the diagnosis and management of hair loss, placing emphasis on treating the underlying cause of disease, rather than just its symptoms.

Beginning with an overview of embryology, anatomy, hair cycle and classification, the following chapters cover numerous different types of alopecia and its treatment.

Each chapter guides clinicians step by step providing an introduction and discussion on aetiopathogenesis, then clinical features, investigation techniques, differential diagnosis, and treatment options. 

The comprehensive text is further enhanced by flowcharts, illustrations, photographs, radiographs, algorithms and comparative tables to assist learning.
