What Is Alopecia Areata?
The hair on our scalp is located in a very visible place and this means that it contributes a great deal to our physical appearance. Some people can lose their hair, however, and this can be quite upsetting for some that become conscious of their appearance.
Alopecia areata is a condition that causes the patients hair to begin falling out. While it causes no other symptoms, it can still be quite distressing for some people. Although there is no cure, treatments are available that may be able to help limit the extent of the hair loss, and/or encourage new hair growth.
