Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss in circular areas of the scalp or other parts of the body. It comes on suddenly and can affect people of any age, but is most common in younger adults and teenagers. Symptoms include small, round areas without hair, which may grow or coalesce, creating larger areas of alopecia.
