Let's talk about Alopecia Areata ⭐️
I want to dive into a topic that hits close to home for many: Alopecia Areata.
It's a common condition that can lead to unexpected hair loss on the scalp and or body.
What's Alopecia Areata? 🤔
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder. It's where the immune system gets confused and starts attacking the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss on the scalp and even on other areas of the body.
What Causes & Triggers It? 🤔
While the exact cause is still a bit of a mystery, there are a few things that we know for sure contribute towards it.
➡️ Genes: family history of autoimmune conditions
➡️ Environment: triggered by stressful traumas
➡️ Medical: some medical conditions such as thyroid & sepsis can contribute to alopecia areata.
Our bodies can be quite complex! 🩻
Let's talk symptoms and types:
➡️ Patchy Alopecia Areata: most common type where people experience patchy, oval-shaped bald spots.
➡️ Alopecia Totalis: This is complete hair loss of the scalp.
➡️ Alopecia Universalis: This means losing all body hair, including eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair.
