Alopecia areata
Also known as spot baldness.
A condition that causes hair to fall out in small patches, which can be unnoticeable. These patches may connect, however, and then become noticeable. The condition develops when the immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.
There are three types of alopecia areata; alopecia areata, alopecia areata totalis and alopecia areata universalis. In all forms of alopecia areata, the hair follicles remain alive and are ready to resume normal hair production whenever they receive the appropriate signal.
According to statistics, the approximate number of people affected by Alopecia range from 1 in 1,000 to 2 in 100. Alopecia Areata can occur at any age but most cases first develop in teenagers and children. People have always believed hair to be one's crowning glory. Baldness, the result of Alopecia, can have great emotional toll on the patient. Hair has always been an essential part of self-imaging. Print and television ads focus on long and lustrous hair as vital in defining how a beautiful woman should look like.
