ALOPECIA (HAIR LOSS)

ALOPECIA (HAIR LOSS) 

 Hair loss (Alopecia) can affect just your scalp or your entire body, and it can be temporary or permanent. It can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of aging. Alopecia can be divided into disorders in which the hair follicle is normal but the cycling of hair growth is abnormal and disorders in which the hair follicle is damaged. 

Main types of Alopecia are :

 1. Alopecia areata: Alopecia is the medical term for bald. Areata means patchy. This patchy baldness can develop anywhere on the body, including the scalp, beard area, eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits, inside your nose, or ears.

2.Alopecia totalis: The person loses all hair on the scalp, so the scalp is completely bald.

3.Alopecia universalis: The person loses all hair, leaving the entire body hairless. This is rare.
