Alopecia areata is a Auto immune disease where our own body attack its own hair follicles, the part from where the hair grows out from, and in turn this can cause hair loss throughout or anywhere on the body, from entire scalp, eye lashes, eye brows etc.
Patchy Hair Loss or Alopecia areata is characterized by complete hair loss in random but clearly defined patches on scalp. Hair loss from entire body is known as Alopecia Universalis.
Diffuse Alopecia Areata :
Though alopecia areata is usually focal, it can rarely be diffuse, mimicking telogen effluvium or type of androgenetic alopecia seen in women. Positive pull test along the margins of plaque indicates that disease is active and further hair loss can be expected.
The Alopecia Areata Treatment includes proper diagnosis and prolonged medications. The first step of Alopecia Areata Treatment is detecting or diagnosing it correctly. This can involve multiple blood tests, scalp exams and of course multiple visit to Hair doctor near by you.
