WHAT IS ALOPECIA AREATA?

Alopecia areata is a condition that causes hair loss. It typically manifests as small, round patches of hair loss on the scalp, although it can affect hair on other parts of the body as well. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss. Alopecia areata can occur at any age, and while there is no cure, treatments such as corticosteroid injections, topical treatments, or systemic therapies may help stimulate hair regrowth in some cases.
