What It Is
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss on the scalp or other hair-bearing areas. The immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to sudden, round patches of hair loss. It can affect people of all ages and may sometimes progress to complete scalp or body hair loss.
