What Is Alopecia?

Alopecia is a medical condition marked by hair loss that can affect the scalp, face, or other areas of the body.
It can impact people of any age, gender, or background, and its underlying causes can differ widely from person to person.

Common contributing factors include:

  • Autoimmune reactions
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Environmental influences

Hair loss may appear as patchy bald spots or thinning, and it often takes a toll on self-esteem and emotional well-being.
