Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes sudden, patchy hair loss when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy hair follicles. This results in small, round bald patches on the scalp, beard, eyebrows, or other areas of the body. The severity of the condition varies—some people experience only a few isolated patches, while others may face complete scalp (Alopecia Totalis) or full-body hair loss (Alopecia Universalis). While the exact cause is unknown, factors like genetics, stress, and immune system dysfunction can trigger flare-ups. Although there is no definitive cure, various treatments, such as topical therapies, corticosteroid injections, and regenerative medicine, can help promote hair regrowth and manage symptoms effectively.
