There are various aging phenomena that appear in our body over time, and among them, quite a few people are troubled by 'hair loss,' a condition in which an abnormally large amount of hair falls out. In fact, the number of young hair loss patients has been increasing recently. Hair loss is attributed not only to genetic factors but also to irregular eating and sleeping habits, lack of exercise, excessive dieting, and stress.
In addition, there is an analysis that seborrheic dermatitis, which causes a rash similar to acne, increases the likelihood of hair loss.
Due to problems with hormone secretion, seborrheic dermatitis is triggered not only on the face but also on the scalp. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease that causes itchy scaling and red erythema. When the sebaceous glands located next to the hair follicles are stressed, sebum secretion becomes excessive, resulting in an oily scalp. Seborrheic dermatitis is the condition that appears when dandruff-causing fungi break down these oil components and produce inflammatory substances.
Scalp seborrheic dermatitis is thicker than seborrheic dermatitis occurring in other areas, and as the inflammation recurs, the itching is severe. As a result, it can not only cause symptoms such as dandruff or scaling but can also become a major cause of hair loss, so early response is important.
If seborrheic dermatitis, a type of eczematous dermatitis, appears on the scalp like this, it is advisable to visit a hospital early for treatment. If the symptoms are not severe, improvement can be expected through drug treatment and laser treatment.
If the condition has worsened somewhat, scalp Botox or PDRN injection treatment may also help. If hair loss has already progressed severely, hair transplant surgery may also be considered. A hair transplant is a treatment method in which hair from the back of the head is moved to the hair loss area so that new hair can grow.
When choosing a hair transplant hospital, you should carefully consider factors such as whether the survival rate of transplanted hair settling on the scalp is high, whether the hospital has hair transplant know-how, how the hair transplant process is carried out, whether the procedure is performed after carefully checking appearance and image, and the direction and angle of existing hair, and whether the hospital has a systematic aftercare program to ensure a high survival rate even after surgery is completed, and then make a careful decision.
Yoo Hwa-jeong, Director of Modi Hair Plant Clinic, advised, "If you have a scalp disease such as scalp seborrheic dermatitis, the survival rate may decrease even if you undergo a hair transplant, and the possibility of hair loss occurring outside the transplant area may increase," and "For successful treatment, it is important to receive appropriate treatment suited to the progression state and symptoms of the scalp disease through consultation with medical staff."
