Alopecia areata is a localized, patchy hair loss, characterized by the presence of one or more round or oval hairless patches. The affected skin appears normal and smooth, unlike the fungal infections, where there is crusting of the skin and uneven breaking of hairs. On the periphery of the patches, a few short hairs, which taper and loss pigment as they approach the skin, may be seen. These are called "exclamation mark" hairs due to their resemblance to the mark.
Alopecia areata is thought to be an autoimmune disease where the body produces antibodies ('auto'antibodies) against the hair cells and cause their destruction in localized areas. The localization of lesions also point towards a neural pathway involvement. In patients with graying hairs, it is common to see that only the black hairs fall off in the patches. Sparing of the grey hairs in alopecia areata indicates that normal nerve supply and melanin pigment is necessary for the alopecia areata to occur. It is not contagious people who have the disease are generally healthy, it is not a painful disease, does not make people feel sick physically, does not reduce life expectancy, should not interfere with the ability to achieve such life goals as going to school, working, marrying, raising a family, playing sports and exercising.
A person's hair is a general reflection of their current overall health. If you find that you are losing hair this can be a good indication that there could be a health condition that needs to be addressed. Hair loss can be caused by a sudden illness, ailments, psychological or physical stress. On the other hand, there are temporary reasons for hair loss, like giving birth, ending a pregnancy, starting or stopping birth control pills, taking diet pills and therapy. Keep in mind that it can take months before you notice the hair loss from these events, and it can take a few months for it to stop.
Most patients who come with recurrent episodes of alopecia areata also report a preceding period of intense stress in their life. How the stress causes hair loss only in localized patches is not known. Hypothetically the nerve supply and altered immune responses in stress may be playing a role in the causation of alopecia areata.
The best way for you to stop hair loss is to address it as soon as you notice that you are losing hair. The longer it goes untreated the more difficult it is going to be stopped. There are medications that can be taken to help restore hair. It is important to stress that consultation with your doctor after first signs of hair loss is crucial for treating it.
