Medical visualization showing the location on the body where alopecia (hair loss) can occur. A figure's skull is highlighted and connected to an inset that shows a cross section of a hair follicle. Chemotherapy can instigate alopecia by causing damage to the cells within hair follicles. The hair bulb (pictured), located at the base of the hair follicle, holds the cells that allow each hair follicle to stay within the skin. As damage to these cells takes place, the ability for the hair follicle to stay embedded within the skin weakens, and excess hair loss occurs. | |
