Dear Dr. RassmanWhat do you think of the new (hypothetical) concept about hair loss called “Alopecia contentionalis”, i.e. high scalp tension causing less blood circulation?
Wouldn’t the risk of getting this condition increase by the number of FUT’s (strip extraction)?
If you are suggesting that a tight scalp that undergoes strip excision will get tighter, I believe you are correct. I do not believe, however, that a tight scalp causes hair loss.
