The term for partial or complete loss of hair, especially on the scalp, is 'alopecia.'
Alopecia is the medical term used to describe hair loss, which can occur partially or completely, and is most commonly seen on the scalp. There are different types of alopecia, each with unique characteristics and causes.
Understanding the type and cause of alopecia is important for determining the appropriate treatment approach. For example, cosmetic treatments may help in some cases, while others might require medical intervention. Always consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
