    Middle-aged men's hair loss may be caused by androgenetic alopecia, folliculitis, scalp trauma, etc., and it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations.

    1. Androgenic alopecia

    If the secretion of male hormones in the body is relatively strong, it may cause irritation to the hair follicles, causing hair loss. Under the guidance of a doctor, it can be treated with drugs such as minoxidil and feminandrosteide.

    2. Folliculitis

    It is generally caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection. If it is not treated in time, it may cause hair follicle atrophy. It can be treated with topical fusidic acid cream, mupirocin ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Scalp trauma

    If the scalp is traumatized, it may affect local blood supply, leading to hair loss, which can be treated with hair transplant surgery under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition to the above-mentioned common causes, it may be caused by genetic and other factors, which should be dealt with in time.
