Alopecia refers to hair loss that can affect the scalp or the entire body. It may be temporary or permanent and can result from genetics, autoimmune conditions, stress, or lifestyle factors.
Types of Alopecia
1. Alopecia Areata – Autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss.
2. Androgenetic Alopecia – Common hereditary hair loss (male/female pattern baldness).
3. Telogen Effluvium – Hair shedding due to stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
4. Traction Alopecia – Hair loss due to excessive pulling or tight hairstyles.
