About Alopecia
Alopecia areata is a general term used for hair loss; this can be a small bald patch on the head or the loss of all hair over the entire body. The general term alopecia can be used to refer to alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis.
Alopecia is not life threatening but it can be distressing at times. While there are no proven effective cures for alopecia, hair can grow back spontaneously. However, the more hair that is lost, the less likely it is to grow back.
When you first get alopecia you may feel that your world has turned upside down. It may affect your relationships, work, social life and you may find it difficult to go anywhere in public. These responses are normal and understandable.
Learning To Cope
People with alopecia use many ways to cope with their hair loss. This article covers some of these methods and we hope it proves useful.
Expressing Your Feelings
Sometimes you might want to cry or shout because you feel it is unfair that you have alopecia. Do It! It&#8217;s perfectly normal to feel this way.
Holding these feelings inside is one option, and it can be beneficial at times, but you may find it makes you feel tired and irritable. Finding ways to relieve tension.
Exercise can help us relieve our feelings in a positive way. Some kinds of exercise are good for ecpressing anger, such as running, others are more calming, such as Yoga and Tai Chi. All exercise helps [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your receding hairline
as you get older is probably down to male pattern baldness. There are other problems that can cause thinning hair and hair loss so it is always best to get a complete checkover by your medical practioner. If you are one of the men in the 95% group where genetics is beginning to wreak havoc on your scalp and the hair loss is becoming obvious &#8211; don&#8217;t wait until that receding hairline and a touch of scalp showing through on the crown of your head  &#8211; the longer you leave it the bigger chance that the hair may be permanently lost!
The culprit can often be your hormone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp which can provoke male pattern baldness by causing shortening and thinning hair follicles in the hair growth cycleas explained on the front page (see picture below).
Hair Retention Programme
All is not lost if you are in the UK! You may be able to pick a restorative programme of treatments to help retain a fuller head of hair by joining the Boots Pharmacy-led, Professional Hair Retention Programme.
From their website:

*  9 out of 10 men with male pattern baldness keep their hair on the Boots Hair Retention Programme, while those not on the programme continue to experience hair loss
* 2 out of 3 men who stay on the programme for long-term treatment experience some re-growth of hair
Now that is a very strong claim from from the major high street pharmacy, but remember, if you are one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nizoral shampoo has a main active ingredient is a drug called ketoconazole and is one of the best-proven weapons in the fight against fungal infections of the scalp, such as dandruff. Nizoral shampoo usually contains 1% or 2% ketoconazole, but in some countries,you may find that the 2% strong Nizoral shampoo requires a doctor’s prescription. 
Using Nizoral twice a week will usually keep your dandruff at bay. It is not necessary to shampoo your hair with Nizoral daily because its main active substance, ketoconazole, binds to the protein of your hair and for several days keeps on  attacking and killing the fungus that causes your dandruff and infections. 
One of the less well documented properties of Nizoral shampoo is its ability to fight baldness. In one small study, 2% ketoconazole was shown to be as effective as 2% minoxidil solution in promoting hair growth. It is assumed that ketoconazole works as an anti-androgen, reducing the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels in the scalp. It should be noted that sufficient clinical evidence does not exist to confirm such assumptions. 
F you are already using minoxidil then it may be of interest to know that a proportion of hair loss patients are experiencing itchiness and inflammations of their scalp caused by diverse minoxidil solutions and are relying on the Nizoral shampoo to help them fight these negative side effects, usually with very good rates of success. This enables them to continue with their hair loss treatment, avoiding scalp inflammations.

		<description><![CDATA[Thinning and Loss Of Hair
While thinning of the hair is to be expected during cancer treatment as was my wife&#8217;s case, if you think your hair is thinning, not to the extent of bald patches appearing, it is important that you check that this is actually happening and not just normal shedding. It is normal to lose 50–100 hairs a day &#8211; which can be quite daunting when seen collectively on the comb or brush. It&#8217;s unusual, but sometimes when your down or depressed, the thinning of the hair can be in the mind, as a symptom of depression, just because of seeing more hairs than expected or normally paid attention to!
Thinning of hair all over the scalp (rather than patchy baldness) can be due to various causes. In the case of mental or physical stress, it often occurs 2–3 months after the event. This is because at the time of the stress many follicles enter telogen (the resting phase) prematurely, and are then shed together at the end of telogen a few months later. In this situation, the hair loss usually recovers completely.
Again, my wife was on anticancer drugs, blood thinning drugs (warfarin) and just a bit depressed with the whole experience &#8211; no surprise that her hair remains thin and now the doctor is treating her with shampoo at the moment to relieve possible eczema or psoriasis &#8211; and he hasn&#8217;t ruled out that her thyroid has been affected at some point in the treatment over the year.

		<description><![CDATA[Hair growth, loss and baldness
Hair loss is a big worry to many people, both male and female. If you have a worrying amount of hair in the basin after shampooing, you may think you are on the way to baldness. But this is not usually the case. The 50–100 hairs that everyone loses each day often become tangled with the rest of the hair, but are washed out when we shampoo. So we see what seems like a lot of hair in the basin after shampooing, but in reality these hairs have been shed earlier.
Of course, bald areas are an obvious sign of hair loss, but otherwise it can be difficult to tell whether your hair is getting thinner. To find out, try the ‘tug test’. Hold a small bunch of hair – about 15 or 20 hairs – between the thumb and index finger. Pull slowly and firmly. If more than six hairs come out there may be a problem.
How hair grows.
The portion of the hair that we can see is called the shaft. Each shaft of hair protrudes from its follicle, which is a tube-like pouch just below the surface of the skin. The hair is attached to the base of the follicle by the hair root, which is where the hair actually grows and where it is nourished by tiny blood vessels.
Like the rest of the body, hairs are made of cells. As new cells form at its root, the hair is gradually pushed further and further [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hair loss is common with Interferon
It is difficult  to give you a exact percentage of patients who experience this problem but it is one of the side effects that patients are warned about. You also have to appreciate that the severity of this side effect varies enormously form patient to patient.
Experience with hair loss (alopecia) associated with interferon or combination therapy, a couple of points stand out. One is that patients tend to feel their hair loss is more noticeable than individuals around them. In addition, the hair typically grows back. Patients on interferon may also be evaluated who have hair loss for thyroid dysfunction because thyroid problems are seen with interferon and they can cause hair loss. Finally, if patients are very bothered by the hair loss, occasionally it is suggested they consider &#8216;Rogaine&#8217; (topical minoxidil) though the effectiveness of this varies considerably from one person to the next.
Thinning
Thinning hair or change in hair texture sometimes occurs. This may begin after the first few months of interferon therapy. It does not generally represent complete loss of hair, rather some people notice an increased amount of hair in the shower drain or loss while combing or brushing. Hair returns to normal after the course of interferon is discontinued. However, whatever part of hair loss in men is attributable to male pattern baldness is gone for good.
Some people experience hair loss as a side effect of interferon, but it doesn’t always happen. It may range from a slight to moderate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LEARN HOW TO REGROW YOUR  HAIR NATURALLY!
[ad#Ad-plus-sense] Melanie&#8217;s hair loss problem started when she was was seven years old and her mom was brushing her hair &#8211; and found a small, perfectly round bald patch at the nape  of her neck. The patch eventually filled in with new hair, but soon another  patch appeared and at times she had two or three bald patches at once. Although they  were well hidden beneath her longer layers of hair, just knowing they were there made her feel really uncomfortable.
Her  parents took her from doctor to doctor. At the time, they could give her no known cause or cure for the mysterious, but  common hair follicle disorder called alopecia areata. She had to learn to live with it &#8211; until many years later.
By the time she reached age 32 her hair started falling out by the handfuls and this  time it wasn’t stopping. At first she thought her hair loss was a severe case of  the alopecia areata she had been suffering with. Many years later she learnt she was experiencing a second type of hair loss called telogen effluvium. (Women can experience more than one form of hair loss  simultaneously with one type opening the way for another type!)
Otherwise healthy, the advise was to get a  good wig and get on with life. Naturally being unhappy with the whole situation she just wanted to be her natural self and without hair  that [...]]]></description>
