Ethnicity A Factor In Women’s Hair Loss

by Bald Man on March 11th, 2006

Here’s an article from eMaxHealth focusing on hair loss in women.

Speaking at the 64th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, dermatologist Elise A. Olsen, M.D., professor of medicine/dermatology at Duke University in Durham, N.C., discussed the three most common types of hair loss in women.

“Women are generally unclear as to why they are experiencing hair loss and often go to the Internet searching for remedies, most of which are ineffective and unnecessarily expensive,” stated Dr. Olsen. “Women need to see a dermatologist when they develop hair loss to make sure that it is not coming from an undiagnosed medical problem and a dermatologist can educate them on ways to minimize or reverse hair loss.” (link)

The causes of hair loss among women vary, and ethnicity is a factor. The article discusses the major causes among both Caucasian and African-American women.
