Despite the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and the acceptance of its associated psychological factors in women, few studies have directly queried women about which specific aspects of their lives are affected by hair thinning and the relative importance of such effects. Perceptions of such negative effects can influence patient satisfaction, health-related quality of life (HRQL) and the impetus to seek medical attention for hair loss. Women (n = 120) aged 22-66 years with at least mild (Ludwig I) AGA were recruited from two dermatology clinics and from a large worksite and asked to complete a questionnaire. The questionnaire solicited information about specific aspects of their lives potentially affected by AGA and the relative importance of those aspects. Inability to style their hair, dissatisfaction with their appearance, concern about hair loss continuing, and concern about others noticing their hair loss were most important to women. Emotional aspects also ranked high, including self-consciousness, jealousy, embarrassment, and feeling powerless to stop their hair loss. In summary, women with AGA report numerous ways in which their hair thinning affects their lives. Knowledge of these effects may be beneficial in counseling such patients and in designing clinical trials or epidemiological studies to evaluate hair loss in women.

Tufted folliculitis. A specific bacterial disease?

Residual groups of hair follicles and unusual "tufts" of multiple hairs emerging from single follicular openings have been described in scarring alopecia associated with staphylococcal infection. Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain these findings. Histological study of four cases suggests that retention of telogen hairs through several hair cycles may be responsible for this phenomenon.

Recurrent seasonal flank alopecia was recognized in 5 ovariohysterectomized female dogs. The dogs first developed hair loss between 1 1/2 and 4 1/2 years of age. The hair loss began in March or April (spring) and spontaneously resolved in July or August. The dogs were otherwise healthy, and no cause for the condition could be determined.
