Are you losing hair in round patches? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition affecting hair follicles.
Alopecia areata causes the immune system to attack hair follicles, leading to hair loss in small, round patches on the scalp or body. It can occur at any age and may be temporary or recurrent.
