QuoteReplyTopic: Definition of Alopecia Posted: March 09 2009 at 5:09pm
Alopecia areata is a common disease that results in the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. There are three types of alopecia areata; alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis.
Alopecia areata, the most common variation of the autoimmune disease, presents itself as round, smooth patches of various sizes.
In all forms of alopecia areata, the hair follicles remain alive and are ready to resume normal hair production whenever they receive the appropriate signal. In all cases, hair regrowth may occur even without treatment and even after many years.
