ALOPECIA AREATA, HAIR LOSS IN PATCHES

image

Alopecia areata (or spot baldness) is a dermatological condition characterized, most often, by a loss of hair in patches. Very difficult to live with, particularly for women, this pathology very frequently has a significant impact on the patients’ self-esteem.

Certain immune cells, the lymphocytes, no longer recognize the hair root as an element belonging to the body, but rather as an enemy to be eliminated (just like bacteria or viruses). Therefore, the lymphocytes attack the hair roots, stopping them from functioning; they then break off and fall out.

What causes alopecia areata ?
The causes of this phenomenon are not yet precisely determined, but it is likely that this dermatological pathology is an autoimmune disease, i.e. due to the aggression of the body’s cells by its own antibodies. Alopecia areata (or spot baldness) frequently occurs in healthy individuals.
