Medically, seborrheic hair loss is also called androgenic alopecia, which is primarily caused by the hyperactivity of sebaceous glands leading to the gradual shrinkage of hair follicles, or rather, the weakening of hair roots, causing hair loss. Generally, it is somewhat related to heredity, with a higher clinical incidence in males than in females. Once this condition appears, it must be treated with medications. Oral treatments can include Vitamin B6 tablets, lipid-reducing hair regrowth tablets, and finasteride tablets. Minoxidil solution can also be used topically.

This disease can gradually improve with treatment, but it is mostly not easy to fully recover, and some people may find that the condition worsens with age. During treatment, it is also essential to regulate one's diet and lifestyle habits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, refrain from staying up late, engage in more physical exercise, and enhance the immune system, all of which can aid in treatment.
