Understanding Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that happens when the immune system attacks the hair follicles. The follicles are not usually destroyed, but their normal hair growth cycle gets disturbed.
This condition can cause sudden hair loss in small patches. In some people, the hair may grow back on its own. In others, alopecia areata may recur or spread to larger areas.
Alopecia areata is different from normal hair fall or common thinning. It usually appears as patchy hair loss and may develop quickly over a few days or weeks.

What Causes Alopecia Areata?

Autoimmune response affecting hair follicles

Autoimmune Response Against Hair Follicles

The immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing hair to fall out in patches.

Genetic predisposition associated with alopecia areata

Genetic Predisposition

Some people may have a higher chance of developing alopecia areata when the condition runs in their family.

Immune system dysfunction associated with alopecia areata

Immune System Dysfunction

An overactive or misdirected immune response may contribute to the process that triggers patchy hair loss.
