Alopecia areata is an autoimmune skin disease resulting in
the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. It usually begins with
one or more small, round, smooth patches on the scalp and can progress to all
scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia
universalis).
The mostly affected area is the scalp, but the beard or any
hair-bearing site can be affected together with the scalp. Alopecia
areata happens in males and females of all ages, but the starting is childhood generally.
Alopecia areata is an extremely unpredictable condition. The
affected hair follicles become very very small and manage to produce no visible hair
above the skin’s surface . Hair can grow back in or fall out again at any time,
and the disease process is different for each person. No matter how extensive the hair loss, most hair follicles
remain alive and are ready to resume normal hair production whenever they
receive the appropriate signal.
There are different types of hair loss Alopecia areata can
cause. Each of these types has a different name
- ·
Alopecia areata (hair loss in patches)
- ·
Alopecia totalis (lose all hair on the scalp)
- ·
Alopecia universalis (lose all hair on the
body)
Alopecia is not an infectious disease. What happens is that the immune system attacks
the hair follicles (structures that contain the roots of the hair), causing
hair loss. This disease most often occurs in otherwise healthy people.
When a person has alopecia areata, the hair will start to
re-grow when the body gets the right signals. Sometimes this happens without
treatment. Even with treatment, new hair loss can occur. Everything depends on
how the immune system reacts. When hair re-grows, it can be white or fine at
first. A person’s own hair color and texture often return later.
The emotional aspects of living with hair loss can be hard.
