Changjiang Daily Wuhan Client May 11th (Reporter Tang Zhifeng Correspondent Zhao Mengxin) 22-year-old Ms. Liu likes to wear ponytails. She has recently noticed that the hair on her forehead and in front of her ears is thinning. She anxiously came to the Eighth Hospital of Wuhan City to seek medical treatment and asked whether she needed treatment.
Wang Xiaqing, deputy chief physician of the dermatology department of the hospital, found that the hair follicles survived well through the dermatologist’s “third eye” – dermoscopy. When she heard the doctor say that as long as the cause is removed and no treatment is needed, most of the new hair can grow back in a few months to more than a year, Ms. Liu smiled.
Wang Xiaqing said that the number of patients with various types of hair loss, such as sparse hair volume, white tops, widening hair seams, and shifting hairlines, are increasing day by day. Many people are anxious about this, and even take inappropriate measures. Self-medication can backfire.
“There are various reasons for hair loss, and the countermeasures are completely different.” Wang Xiaqing said that it is in line with the natural law that hair thinning occurs in old age, postpartum hair loss, women who have long ponytails, and women who stay up late and live Irregular hair loss caused by short-term external factors such as using irritating shampoo and hair care products, wearing airtight wigs for a long time, high-fat and high-sugar diet, etc., because the hair follicles survive well, as long as the cause is eliminated, no treatment is required. Months to more than a year can regrow new hair.
