Types of alopecia & Treatment 
Hair loss comes in a number of different forms. Listed below are the main types of hair loss and the characteristics of each type.

On alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis, which are collectively used on this site under the term alopecia.

Alopecia Areata (AA)
v  Used to describe hair loss occurring in patches anywhere on the body.

Alopecia Totalis (AT)
v  Total loss of the hair on the scalp.

Alopecia Universalis (AU)
v  Total loss of all hair on the body.

Alopecia Barbae
v  Loss of facial hair (for a man) especially in the beard area.

Alopecia Mucinosa
v  A type of alopecia which results in scaley patches.

Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)
v  Also known as male pattern baldness. It is a thinning of the hair to an almost transparent state, in both men or women. It is thought to be a hereditary form of hair loss.

Traction Alopecia
v  Traction alopecia is usually due to excessive pulling or tension on hair shafts as a result of certain hair styles. It is seen more often in women, particularly those of East Indian and Afro-Caribbean origin. Hair loss depends on the way the hair is being pulled. Prolonged traction alopecia can stop new hair follicles developing and lead to permanent hair loss.

Anagen Effluvium
v  This hair loss is generally caused by chemicals such as those used to treat cancer. Initially it causes patchy hair loss, which often then becomes total hair loss. The good news is that when you stop using these chemicals the hair normally grows back (usually about 6 months later). Other drugs also can cause hair loss. Many medicines used to treat even common diseases can cause hair loss.

Scarring Alopecia
v  A form of alopecia which leaves scarring on the area of hair loss.

Telogen Effluvium
v  A form of hair loss where more than normal amounts of hair fall out. There is a general 'thinning' of the hair. Unlike some other hair and scalp conditions, it is temporary and the hair growth usually recovers.

Alopecia Areata





What Is Alopecia Areata?

Alopecia areata is considered an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system, which is designed to protect the body from foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria, mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, the tiny cup-shaped structures from which hairs grow. This can lead to hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere.


In most cases, hair falls out in small, round patches about the size of a quarter. In many cases, the disease does not extend beyond a few bare patches. In some people, hair loss is more extensive. Although uncommon, the disease can progress to cause total loss of hair on the head (referred to as alopecia areata totalis) or complete loss of hair on the head, face, and body (alopecia areata universalis).


Hair Loss Information

In the contemporary times, people are becoming more and more conscious about their looks. And when it comes to looking good, maintaining shiny smooth hair, undoubtedly, becomes of prime importance. It is here where conditions like baldness, thinning of hair and loss of hair become a cause of concern.


Causes

In alopecia areata, immune system cells called white blood cells attack the rapidly growing cells in the hair follicles that make the hair. The affected hair follicles become small and drastically slow down hair production. Fortunately, the stem cells that continually supply the follicle with new cells do not seem to be targeted. So the follicle always has the potential to re grow hair.


Hair loss symptoms:

· Hair fall on clothes after combing

· Gradual appearance of bald patches

· Receding hairline


Causes of baldness:

· Lack of nutrition

· Mental stress and strain

· Prolonged illness like typhoid, chronic cold etc

· Lack of personal hygiene like unclean conditions of scalp


Hair Loss a Symptom of a Serious Disease?

Alopecia areata is not a life-threatening disease. It does not cause any physical pain, and people with the condition are generally healthy otherwise. But for most people, a disease that unpredictably affects their appearance the way alopecia areata does is a serious matter.


The effects of alopecia areata are primarily socially and emotionally disturbing. In alopecia universalis, however, loss of eyelashes and eyebrows and hair in the nose and ears can make the person more vulnerable to dust, germs, and foreign particles entering the eyes, nose, and ears.

Alopecia areata often occurs in people whose family members have other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, pernicious anaemia, or Addison's disease. People who have alopecia areata do not usually have other autoimmune diseases, but they do have a higher occurrence of thyroid disease, Atopic eczema, nasal allergies, and asthma.


Hair Ever Grow Back?

There is every chance that your hair will re grow, but it may also fall out again. No one can predict when it might re grow or fall out. The course of the disease varies from person to person. Some people lose just a few patches of hair, then the hair re grows, and the condition never recurs. Other people continue to lose and re grows hair for many years. A few lose all the hair on their head; some lose all the hair on their head, face, and body. Even in those who lose all their hair, the possibility for full re growth remains.


In some, the initial hair re growth is white, with a gradual return of the original hair colour. In most, the re grown hair is ultimately the same colour and texture as the original hair.
