Personalized alopecia care on Katraj Kondhwa Road, Pune.

Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss, often referring specifically to Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing sudden, patchy, round bald spots, though it can progress to total scalp or body hair loss (Alopecia Totalis/Universalis). While typically healthy individuals get it, genetics and other autoimmune links exist, with unpredictable regrowth and treatments like corticosteroids or JAK inhibitors to manage it.

Common Types

• Alopecia Areata: Coin-sized, smooth bald patches, usually on the scalp or face.

• Alopecia Totalis: Complete loss of hair on the scalp.

• Alopecia Universalis: Total loss of hair from the entire body.

• Ophiasis: Hair loss in a band around the scalp's sides and back.

Causes & Triggers

• Autoimmune: The primary cause for Alopecia Areata, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.

• Genetics: A family history increases risk.

• Other Factors: Hormonal changes, stress, and certain medical conditions (like thyroid issues, vitiligo, lupus) can play a role.

Symptoms

• Sudden, smooth, patchy hair loss (often coin-sized).

• Can affect scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, and body.

• Nails might show white spots, pitting, or easy splitting.

• May have mild itching or burning in the bald spots for some.

Treatment & Management

• No Cure: No definitive cure, but treatments can help regrowth.

• Medications: Corticosteroids (injections, topical), topical minoxidil, JAK inhibitors.

• Support: Head coverings, wigs, and psychological support for distress.
