Alopecia Areata
Understanding Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss. It typically appears as round patches of baldness on the scalp, beard, eyebrows, or other areas of the body. While the condition can affect anyone, it is often linked to genetics, stress, or other autoimmune disorders.
