The fading (pigmentation problem), dandruff, alopecia (loss of hair) is the major problem associated with hairs.

In today’s developing world there are lots changes in the eating habits and the lifestyle. Due to which its ill effects are seen on the body and out of which hair is affected the most. And hair fall has erupted as a major problem. In our ancient ayurvedic granthas it is said that hair and nail are the malas of the asthi dhatu ie they develop from the asthi. Kesh shaat (hair fall) is considered a sign of Asthi dhatu kshaya in Vagbhat sutra sthaan 11/19. Ayurved very well defines the hair loss problem as Khalitya and mentions different treatments for the problem. Present paper gives an idea on various causes and management of hairfall. Keywords: hair fall, Kesh shaat, Khalitya Introduction Hair is one of the imperative parts of the body derived from ectoderm of the skin; Hair is a dead part with no nerve connections. The hair follicle has the unique ability to regenerate itself . The basic part of hair is bulb (a swelling at the base which originates from the dermis), root (which is the hair lying beneath the skin surface), shaft (which is the hair above the skin surface).

In the pediatric population, hair loss often presents with patterns that are different from that of their adult counterparts. Given the psychosocial complications that may arise from pediatric alopecia, prompt diagnosis and management is particularly important. Common causes of alopecia in children and adolescents include alopecia areata, tinea capitis, androgenetic alopecia, traction Edited by: alopecia, trichotillomania, hair cycle disturbances, and congenital alopecia conditions.

Conventional treatments include the use of topical minoxidil (MNX) formulations to stimulate hair growth and restore hair condition. However, those treatments are associated with limited performance and a lack of tolerability and compliance due to the emergence of adverse effects. Considering that the development of nanotechnology-based formulations as hair loss therapeutic strategies has been clearly growing, topical MNX delivery by means of these innovative formulations is known to enhance MNX skin permeation and depot formation into hair follicles, allowing for MNX-controlled release, increased MNX skin bioavailability and enhanced therapeutic efficacy with minimal adverse effects.

Various studies have identified this as ‘Sensitive Scalp Syndrome’ resulting from exposure to increasing levels of air pollution including particulate matter, dust, smoke, nickel, lead and arsenic, sulfur dioxide nitrogen dioxide, ammonia and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) which settle on the scalp and hair. Indoor air conditioned environments because volatile organic compounds (VOC) released from various sources to settle on the scalp. The pollutants migrate into the dermis, transepidermally and through the hair follicle conduit, leading to oxidative stress and hair loss. We have used antioxidants, regular hair wash, Ethylene di-amine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) shampoo, and application of coconut oil to provide protection the hair and counter the effects of pollution. In this review, we have evaluated the causes, clinical presentation, mechanism of hair loss due to pollution and discussed the management of hair loss due to air pollution (HDP). Hair loss due to pollution can coexist with or mimic androgenic alopecia. It requires careful history and trichoscopic evaluation to identify and advice a planned hair care program.

  • Ciliary Madarosis in the Pediatric Population: a Case Report and Review of the Literature Pezhman Shoureshi, DO; Jenifer R
    Case RepoRt Ciliary Madarosis in the Pediatric Population: A Case Report and Review of the Literature Pezhman Shoureshi, DO; Jenifer R. Lloyd, DO Ciliary madarosis (CM) is a form of alopecia commonly associated with more extensive hair loss, which has cosmetic and psychological implications. Among the pediatric population, there are 4 important etiologic considerations: alopecia areata (AA), tinea capitis, trichotillomania (TTM), and telogen efflu- vium (TE). Recognizing the subtle differences that characterize these forms of alopecia allows for prompt and appropriate treatment. We present the case of a 9-year-old white girl with bilat- eral CM and no further evidence of alopecia elsewhere on her body. She was diagnosed with TTM and successfully treated with bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% (Latisse, Allergan, Inc).
