It can be caused by hair dryers, metal combs or any other object capable of injuring the scalp.
It can also be self inflicted by a patient when in a manic depressive state, the person rips his or her own hair out. This pathology is known as Trichotillomania.

Puede ser provocada por el uso de secadores de pelo, peines metálicos o cualquier otro elemento capaz de generar lesiones en el cuero cabelludo.
También puede generarse cuando el paciente ( en un estado maníaco ) se arranca los pelos a sí mismo. A esta patología se la conoce como tricotilomanía.
