Sudden hair loss in patches? It could be Alopecia Areata.

KDAH

Noticing small, round patches of hair loss on your scalp, beard, or eyebrows? You might have Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune condition where your body mistakenly attacks hair follicles. This causes smooth, coin-sized bald spots. Some people lose just a few patches, while others may experience more widespread hair loss. The exact cause isn’t fully known but may involve genetics and triggers like stress. Hair often grows back, though it can come and go in cycles. Treatments like steroid injections or topical medicines can help. If you spot patchy hair loss, consult a trichologist or dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
