Alopecia Areata

It is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles and causes hair loss. Both genders and all ethinic and racial groups affect it equally. There is no definite cause but some believe that genetics can play a role. Hair loss is typically patchy and most commonly affected areas are scalp and face. There are multiple treatments which are helpful for the hair regrowth. Hairs also regrow without any treatment. So, always consult a dermatologist and evaluate yourself.
