​Hello, this is Imi Seok Theme Dermatology!

Let’s learn about the self-diagnosis method for hair loss that was uploaded to Imi Seok Theme Dermatology’s YouTube star doctor, Dr. Lim, channel!

Could I have hair loss too?

When hair loss begins, many people start to look older and feel embarrassed when meeting others.

As a result, social avoidance can also develop.

However, there are people who do not know whether they have hair loss, so I will talk about that.

Hair loss symptoms

If a few strands of hair usually fall out each day but the amount suddenly increases, you should suspect hair loss.

Even if hair is not falling out, if your hair suddenly becomes thinner and feels like it collapses when you wash and dry it,

in women, if the amount of hair decreases when tying it up and it feels thinner, you should suspect hair loss!

In men, there are several types, such as a receding hairline and thinning at the crown.

A way to tell if your hairline is receding is to place four finger widths above your eyebrow line.

If the hairline covers that area, it is fine, but if the hairline goes beyond those four finger widths and skin becomes visible,

you should suspect hair loss!

In women, unlike men, hair does not suddenly fall out all at once, but the hair becomes thinner

and less dense, making the scalp look more visible.

If light reflects off your scalp when you bend your head forward, you should suspect hair loss.

People say women do not go bald, but the number of women with thinner hair and a more visible scalp is increasing.

Hair loss is not exclusive to men; women also develop hair loss at the same rate.

How much hair has to fall out in a day for it to be hair loss?

Collect and count the hairs that fall out when washing your hair, when using a dryer or brushing your hair, and the hairs left on your pillow when you wake up.

Do not do this for just one day; do it for about three days, add up the number of hairs that fell out, and divide by 3. That number can be considered the average number of hairs lost per day.

If the average after dividing by 3 is 80 to 100 hairs or more, you should suspect hair loss, and what matters even more is whether the number of hairs falling out suddenly increases.

People like this must visit a hospital and receive a hair loss diagnosis.
