Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss on the scalp and other areas of the body. It typically presents as small, round bald patches and can rarely progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis).
The exact cause of alopecia areata is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The immune system attacks hair follicles, which leads to hair loss.
Alopecia areata can affect anyone at any age, but it is most commonly seen in people under the age of 30. It affects both men and women equally and can run in families.
A dermatologist can diagnose alopecia areata based on a physical exam and a discussion of your symptoms and medical history. In some cases, a skin biopsy may be done to rule out other conditions.
There is no cure for alopecia areata, but there are treatment options available to help manage the condition. Treatment may include topical medications and commonly injections of corticosteroids into the affected area.
There is no known way to prevent alopecia areata, but early treatment can help minimize hair loss and promote regrowth. It's important to work closely with your dermatologist to find a treatment plan that works for you.
