What is Alopecia Areata?

 

Alopecia areata is a skin disease caused by an autoimmune response that results in unpredictable and challenging hair loss on the scalp and other parts of the body. This disease affects 1.7 percent of the population, with more than 4.7 million people in the United States alone. Unfortunately, many are still unaware of alopecia areata, causing it to have a significant impact on one's life and functional status, including work and school.

 The immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, resulting in the arrest of the hair growth stage. Alopecia areata typically begins with one or more small, smooth bald patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis).

 Alopecia areata can occur in males and females of all ages and races, but it typically starts in childhood and can be psychologically devastating. Although not life-threatening, alopecia areata is life-altering, and its sudden onset, recurrent episodes, and unpredictable course have a profound psychological impact on those affected.

 This disease is also known as alopecia celsi, alopecia cicatrisata, alopecia circumscripta, Cazenave's vitiligo, Celsus' vitiligo, Jonston's alopecia, porrigo decalvans, and vitiligo capitis. It has three main subdivisions: alopecia seminuniversalis, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis.
