ALOPECIA

Alopecia

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder where in your follicles are destroyed by your immune cells. As a result, we see round coin shaped patches of hair loss that can be small initially later expand in size and increase in number.

If you notice any such patches consult us immediately. Treatment in these cases can give maximum results if initiated early.

What are the common types of alopecia?

Common types of alopecia include androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), alopecia areata (autoimmune hair loss), and alopecia universalis (total loss of body hair). Other forms of alopecia exist as well.

Is alopecia hereditary?

Some forms of alopecia, like androgenetic alopecia, have a hereditary component and may run in families. However, the hereditary factor can vary depending on the type of alopecia.

Can alopecia be treated or reversed?

The treatment and potential for reversal of alopecia depend on the specific type and its underlying cause. While some forms may respond to treatments like topical medications, corticosteroid injections, or immunotherapy, others may be more challenging to treat.
