Is hair loss contagious?

Hair loss refers to hair loss. Whether hair loss is infectious or not depends on the specific cause of hair loss.

If hair loss is caused by endocrine disorders, seborrheic dermatitis and other non-infectious diseases, it is generally not infectious. However, if hair loss is caused by fungal infection, when patients share personal items with others, fungi will usually enter the scalp of healthy people and cause infection.

Patients with hair loss should pay attention to keeping the scalp clean and massage the scalp properly to promote blood circulation and reduce hair loss. Patients with fungal infection should be treated with itraconazole capsules, ketoconazole tablets, fluconazole capsules and other antifungal drugs.
