Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss. In this condition, the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles. As a result, hair follicles become inflamed and can lead to partial or complete hair loss on the scalp. The exact cause of Alopecia Areata is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors.
