Hair loss is not as common for women as in men but there are still certain reasons that causes women to lose hair. Baldness can be extremely depressing for women as society is more tolerant of bald men than bald women.
Changing levels of hormones can result in hair loss which is why women who have just given birth or those who are undergoing menopause sometimes lose excessive amounts of hair. Hormone replacement or estrogen pills are prescribed to menopausal women to stop hair loss and other symptoms of menopause.
Another cause of female baldness is Alopecia Areata, an immune disease that results in a wide range of hair loss from shedding of hair patches to complete baldness. This condition may be treated using different methods depending on the severity of the condition. Some of the treatments for Alopecia include: Minoxidil, glucocorticoids, and anthralin.
Another topical drug that is prescribed to patients is Retin-A cream that is used to cure various skin ailments. When used with Minoxidil, Retin-A works as an aid for the better absorption of Minoxidil by the hair follicles. Retin-A also works by preventing Sebum blockages effectively reducing DHT absorption by the hair follicles.
