Diagnostic tests for Hair loss:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Hair loss. Some of these are listed below :
- Physical examination
- Determine the pattern of hair loss - e.g. male pattern balding, focal alopecia areata (localized loss of hair in round or oval areas without any visible inflammation of the skin in hair bearing areas), alopecia totalis (loss of all scalp hair and eyebrows, alopecia universalis (the end stage of alopecia areata with complete loss of all body hair).
- Examine area of skin where there is hair loss to determine if there is a skin rash, skin inflammation or skin scarring
- Examine nails. If alopecia areata- type hair loss and nails are also affected, this suggests poor prognostic chance of hair re-growth
- Blood tests

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Hair loss.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had problems with hair loss?
Why: to determine if acute or chronic.
- Is the hair loss focal or diffuse?
- If the hair loss is focal, is there a rash in the area of hair loss?
Why: If rash is present must consider tinea capitis, lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis. If rash is not present, should consider alopecia areata, syphilis, burns and other injuries to the skin.
- Is there a family history of male pattern baldness?
Why: i.e. receding hair line at the front, especially each side which results in an M-shaped recession. Following this, a bald spot may appear on the crown.
- Is there a family history of female pattern baldness?
Why: e.g. diffuse thinning of the hair on top of the head.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse

- If female pattern baldness, are there signs of androgen excess?
Why: e.g. acne, excess hairiness (of genitals, nipples, abdomen and face), irregular periods, deepening of the voice, enlarged clitoris - may suggest endocrine dysfunction.
- Symptoms of menopause?
Why: e.g. hot flushes, night sweats, heart palpitations, lightheadedness, dry vaginal, dry skin, headaches and sometimes diffuse hair loss.
- Symptoms of chronic Vitamin A excess?
Why: e.g. bone or joint pain, hair loss, dryness and fissures of the lips, poor appetite, itchy skin, weight loss, low grade fever.
- Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
Why: e.g. preference for cooler weather, increased appetite, heart palpitations, increased sweating, nervousness, irritability, diarrhea, lack of menstrual periods.
- Symptoms of hypothyroidism?
Why: e.g. husky voice, tiredness, weight gain, constipation, cold intolerance, loss of hair.
