Alopecia areata is an autoimmune cause of sudden, well-circumscribed, non-scarring hair loss with characteristic 'exclamation mark' hairs at the margins. It often regrows spontaneously but can recur or progress.
Q2 · Androgenetic Alopecia

Topical minoxidil is used for androgenetic alopecia to prolong the growth phase and enlarge follicles. Oral finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, is another option in men.
Q3 · Nail Psoriasis
