About alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing round or oval patches of hair loss on the scalp, beard or body. The skin in the patches usually looks smooth and healthy. The course is unpredictable: hair may regrow by itself, recur, or in some people progress to complete scalp or body hair loss. It is not contagious. It can be linked with stress, thyroid disease or a family history of autoimmune conditions, so a review of general health is part of a proper assessment.
