Alopecia
Description
Alopecia is an autoimmune condition that causes hair to fall out (small patches), usually unnoticeable. Alopecia develops when the immune system attacks the hair follicles which results in hair loss. Hair Loss occurs on the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows in some cases, and face, as well as other parts of the body. Alopecia usually develops slowly and reoccurs after years.
Causes
An autoimmune condition always develops when the immune system mistakes healthy cells for foreign substances. The hair follicles become smaller, stop producing hair, eventually leading to hair loss. Doctors don’t know the exact cause of this condition. It often occurs in people who have a family history of autoimmune conditions like type 1 Diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.
