Hair Loss in Men
Other skin problems that can lead to scarring hair loss include:
- Fungus infections; ringworm (also called tinea capitis) is the most common infection to cause this
- Skin disorders, such as seborrhea or psoriasis
- Connective tissue diseases, such as lupus
Scarring hair loss often responds to the right medical treatment. For example, an anti-fungal medication can cure ringworm and allow hair to grow back normally.
