Alopecia is a condition that causes hair loss, which can occur suddenly or gradually, affecting the scalp or other areas of the body. Alopecia areata, is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to round patches of hair loss. Other types of alopecia include androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair thinning) and telogen effluvium (temporary hair shedding). The causes of alopecia can vary, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, or underlying health conditions. While hair loss can be distressing, there are effective treatments available to slow progression and promote regrowth.
