Many hair loss issues are taking place lately as they are linked to some medications especially for long term periods, hormones unbalanced or developed by our own genetic.
Any of them is called alopecia and we are talking today about types of alopecia that may occur and how to treat them.
Alopecia Areata (AA)
It is an autoimmune disease that causes hair to fall out in small and random patches, but it can also occur in other areas of the body. The exact cause of AA isn’t known. However, it takes place most often in people who have a family history of other autoimmune disorders, such as type 1diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Although there’s no cure, treatment can help the hair grows back more quickly and may prevent future hair loss. It is developed when the immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. Sudden hair loss may come about on the scalp and other parts of the body but rarely impacts in total hair loss or alopecia universal. When hair does grow back, it’s possible for the hair to fall out again and the extent of hair loss and regrowth varies from person-to person. Once it is developed the patient need to take care of it even the hair has been recovered, only using a specific treatment for long period after.
