Alopecia
Areata is considered an auto-immune
disease in which the immune system
which has to protect the body from
foreign invasion such as viruses
and bacteria mistakenly attacks
the hair follicles. This can lead
to hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere.
In most cases hair fall out in small
round patches. In some people hair
loss is more extensive and can progress
to cause total loss of hair on the
head (Alopecia Areata Totalis) or
complete loss of hair on the head,
face and body (Alopecia Areata Universalis)
In
Alopecia Areata, immune system cells called
white blood cells attack the rapidly growing
cells in the hair follicles that make the
hair. The affected hair follicles become
small and drastically slow down hair production.
Fortunately the stem cells that continually
supply the follicles with new cells do not
seem to be targeted. Therefore the follicles,
always has the potential to re grow hair.
