Some of the common problems that both men and women face concerning hair and the scalp are infections, loss, and disorders.
Although it is usual to shed hair every day, it becomes a matter of great concern when people experience hair loss more than normal. Some people even have an inherited tendency to common baldness, which is mostly found in men. Usually, sudden and temporary loss of large amounts of hair is related to stress.
Infections on the scalp contain bacteria. Excessive flaking and itching are found with both psoriasis and dandruff.
