“Alopecia Areata” Questions and Answers about Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is considered an autoimmune disease, in
which the immune system, which is designed to protect the
body from foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria,
mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, the tiny cup-shaped
structures from which hairs grow. This can lead to hair loss
on the scalp and elsewhere.
In most cases, hair falls out in small, round patches about
the size of a quarter. In many cases, the disease does not
extend beyond a few bare patches. In some people, hair loss
is more extensive. Although uncommon, the disease can
progress to cause total loss of hair on the head (referred to as
alopecia areata totalis) or complete loss of hair on the head,
face, and body (alopecia areata universalis).
