ALOPECIA AREATA - PATCHY HAIR LOSS
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to sudden, round or oval patches of hair loss on the scalp, beard, eyebrows, or body.
It is a non-scarring, treatable hair loss condition and many patients experience complete regrowth with timely treatment.
Causes of Alopecia Areata

- Stress or illness
