Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that leads to patchy hair loss, often progressing unpredictably. While some cases remain mild, others can develop into alopecia totalis, where complete scalp hair loss occurs. Understanding the progression from alopecia areata to totalis is crucial for early intervention. At Dr Batra’s®, we provide homeopathic treatment for alopecia that targets the root cause, preventing further hair loss and promoting regrowth.

Understanding Alopecia Areata and Alopecia Totalis

  • Alopecia Areata: Characterised by small, round patches of hair loss due to an autoimmune response
  • Alopecia Totalis: A more severe form where all scalp hair is lost, but body hair remains
  • Alopecia Universalis: The most extreme form, causing total body hair loss, including eyebrows and eyelashes

Symptoms of Alopecia Totalis

  • Sudden, widespread hair loss on the scalp
  • Smooth, bald patches without scarring
  • Tingling or itching sensations before hair falls out
  • Changes in nails, such as ridges or pitting
  • Loss of eyebrows or eyelashes in some cases

Can Alopecia Areata Progress to Alopecia Totalis?

Yes, alopecia areata can progress to alopecia totalis, though not in all cases. Certain factors increase the risk, such as:

  • Family history of autoimmune conditions
  • Chronic, long-lasting alopecia areata
  • High stress levels or environmental triggers
  • Underlying immune system imbalances

Causes and Risk Factors

  • Autoimmune reaction targeting hair follicles
  • Genetic predisposition to hair loss disorders
  • Hormonal imbalances and stress affecting hair growth cycles
  • Environmental factors, including viral infections and poor diet
