What are the causes and treatment for genetic hair loss in Singapore?

Doctor's Answer

I agree that there may be 2 separate problems here. Genetic hairloss (androgenetic alopecia) is a gradual thinning of the hair over the frontal and vertex area. The scalp in androgenetic is not usually red.

If there is redness of the scalp, this may be due to seborrheic eczema or psoriasis, but there are a number of other conditions that can also cause scalp redness.

There are also some rarer causes of hairloss which can have both redness of the scalp and hairloss. Some of these conditions can cause scarring alopecia.

I would suggest that you revisit your dermatologist for reassessment to confirm the diagnosis and for further management of your problem.
