September 15, 2021 , Last updated: April 15, 2024

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks the hair follicles. There are two types of alopecia areata: one involves the entire scalp, and the other involves patches of hair loss on any part of the body, including the eyebrows, eyelashes, and beard.

Why does alopecia areata occur?

The causes of alopecia areata may be genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, heredity, and infections. Alopecia areata can also occur due to stress and depression.

Patients affected by alopecia areata, should not lose hope. Even if your hair does not grow back rapidly, the condition is usually temporary and will eventually disappear.

In rare cases, patients develop a form of alopecia areata in which their hair grows back only to fall out again. This type of alopecia areata is called recurrent alopecia areata.

Some patients may even experience an episode of complete hair loss and partial recovery without scalp hair regrowth.

In some cases, a scar at the site of inflammation could result in permanent baldness. However, at times, the patient may experience hair growth over time. If you take the treatment on time, you will see better results. There is a chance that alopecia areata can turn into alopecia totalis or universalis, which can cause permanent hair loss.
