Premature
Baldness
(Khalitya)
Baldness refers to a loss of hair, usually
on
the head.
Symptoms:
Baldness may be due to certain serious diseases like acute
fevers, myxodema (a syndrome cause by hypothyroidism),
syphilis, influenza, anaemia, and great
anxiety or nervous shock. If premature baldness is hereditary
then not much can be done except
delaying the falling of the hair for some years through
proper medication. Sometimes eczema, psoriasis of the scalp leads to
rapid baldness.
Root
Causes
The administration of
drugs indicated for premature graying of hair should help in
the cases of baldness also, but recourse to medication has
to be taken in the earlier stage. If all the hair has fallen
out and the follicles have closed, nothing much can be done.
