Alopecia

Alopecia is a medical term for hair loss.
It can affect the scalp, eyebrows, beard, or other body areas, and it does not always mean permanent hair loss.

There are different types of alopecia, and treatment depends entirely on the cause.

Some forms are temporary and reversible, while others need long-term management.

Common Types of Alopecia

All these hair-loss types may look similar at first, but their causes, progression, and treatment are completely different, which is why correct diagnosis matters more than guessing or self-treating.

Alopecia Areata

Sudden patchy hair loss caused by an autoimmune response. Hair can regrow with proper treatment if addressed early.

Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Hair Loss)

Gradual thinning seen in both men and women, influenced by genetics and hormones. This needs long-term planning and maintenance.

Sudden excessive hair fall due to stress, illness, weight loss, or hormonal changes. Often reversible once the trigger is corrected.

Telogen Effluvium
