Overview

Alopecia areata is a prevalent form of alopecia, which is an autoimmune condition that often causes erratic hair loss. About 6.8 million individuals in the United States and 147 million people all over the globe are afflicted with this condition. The loss of hair often occurs in discrete areas that are about the size of a quarter. Even though there could just be a few bald spots, alopecia areata can affect a much larger portion of the scalp. Alopecia totalis is a condition that is diagnosed by medical professionals when there is a full loss of hair on the scalp. Alopecia universalis is the medical term for a disorder in which there is complete and total hair loss throughout the whole body. Alopecia may afflict anyone of any age, gender, or color; however, the condition often manifests itself in those under the age of 30.

Alopecia areata is a disorder that causes hair loss that occurs when hair follicles are attacked by the immune system. This condition is also known as autoimmune alopecia. The structures in the skin that are responsible for the growth of hair are called hair follicles. Even though alopecia areata may cause hair loss on any region of the body, it most often affects the scalp and the facial hair. The loss of hair normally occurs in tiny, circular patches that are approximately the size of a quarter; however, there are instances in which the loss of hair is more widespread. The vast majority of persons who have the condition are perfectly healthy and exhibit none of the disease's other symptoms. The progression of alopecia areata varies greatly from one individual to the next. Some people have recurrent episodes of hair loss throughout their lives, while others suffer from it just once. It is impossible to determine who will completely recover, since some people's hair will regenerate while others' will not. There is currently no cure for alopecia areata; however, there are therapies that may speed up the process by which hair grows back. People who are going through hair loss also have access to services that might help them cope.
