Alopecia
(Hair Loss)
The term alopecia simple means ‘hair loss’ or ‘baldness’. This is a condition which is invariably distressing, it affects both men and women and can happen for a wide variety of reasons. There are a number of different forms of alopecia:
- Alopecia areata causes patchy hair loss and occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles
- Alopecia universalis is the most advanced form of alopecia areata which results in complete body hair loss
- Androgenetic alopecia is a hereditary condition also known as male or female pattern baldness which leads to thinning of the hair to an almost transparent state
- Traction alopecia is usually due to excessive pulling or tension on hair shafts as a result of certain hair styles
- Alopecia barbae is localised to the beard area either in a single bald patch or in all of the beard area
- Alopecia totalis is all over baldness
When it comes to establishing why alopecia happens, scientists are still unsure, however stress can be a factor, it can be a sign of serious health problems or it can also be associated with chemotherapy. In addition, there are some skin conditions that affect the scalp, resulting in hair loss.
