  1. alopecia areata

    Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss. This condition can result in unpredictable hair loss on the scalp or other parts of the body. It affects people of all ages and genders, but often begins during childhood. The severity of the condition varies among those affected, from a single patch of hair loss to complete loss of hair on the scalp or entire body.

Wikidata

  1. Alopecia areata

    Alopecia areata is a condition in which hair is lost from some or all areas of the body, usually from the scalp. Because it causes bald spots on the scalp, especially in the first stages, it is sometimes called spot baldness. In 1–2% of cases, the condition can spread to the entire scalp or to the entire epidermis. Conditions resembling AA, and having a similar cause, occur also in other species.

U.S. National Library of Medicine
