What Is Alopecia Areata?
4. Alopecia Universalis
Alopecia areata is a condition where the hair begins to fall out in patches. In some cases, it will go on to become alopecia universalis, which means more widespread hair loss. The condition will likely be far more noticeable than alopecia areata.
Alopecia totalis refers to the total loss of hair on the scalp. In some cases, the patients hair might grow back again. This is not always permanent, however, as it will often begin to fall out again after some time. The extent to which the patients hair will fall out will vary from person to person and, in some people, the patient will lose all of their hair completely.
