Alopecia

Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune hair loss condition that causes patchy bald spots on the scalp or body. While some individuals experience small areas of hair loss, others may develop more extensive thinning or complete hair loss. 

Affecting approximately 2% of people worldwide, alopecia areata can occur at any age but often begins in childhood or early adulthood. The severity and pattern of hair loss vary from person to person, making early assessment and a personalized treatment plan important for managing this condition.
