What Is Alopecia?

Alopecia areata is a condition in which individuals experience round patches of hair loss. Its exact cause is unknown, although research suggests it is hereditary, as roughly 20% of people with alopecia have a family history of the condition. The main symptom of alopecia areata is round patches of hair loss on head or body.

Diagnosing Alopecia

To diagnose alopecia areata, blood tests and/or a scalp biopsy are performed, as this condition is sometimes associated with autoimmune disorders.
