About this condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing sudden circular patches of hair loss on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows. Can progress to alopecia totalis (entire scalp) or universalis (whole body). Treatment focuses on immune modulation, not transplantation.
