The Alopecia areata is a disorder characterized by inflammation of the hair bulb, which shrivels and ultimately stops producing hair. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease, which means the immune system mistakenly attacks cells of the body, and in this case the hair bulb.

Typically, a small patch of hair (ranging from around 1/4″ to 1 1/4″ in diameter) drops out, leaving only a few stubbly hairs. In some cases, the hair starts to grow back within a few weeks or months, but other people are left with persistent bald spots. The scalp is most commonly affected, although facial and body hair can also be lost.

Mild cases generally respond well to cortisone creams or injections, while for more severe forms oral tablets may be required. However, for a small proportion of people with alopecia areata, it is difficult to get the hair to regrow and alopecia hair replacement options may need to be considered.
