Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is a form of hair loss in which the immune system affects the hair follicles, causing hair to fall out in well-defined areas, usually rounded.
Frequent symptoms:
- Hairless areas with defined borders, on the scalp or beard.
- In some cases, changes in the nails.
Characteristics: the skin of the affected areas usually looks normal, without scaling or scarring; the course can vary over time.
When to see a doctor? An assessment is advisable when patches of hair loss appear or these change, to learn their cause.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the professional who studies hair and skin. Since there are different causes of hair loss, the most appropriate thing is for a specialist to evaluate the case and guide the corresponding follow-up.
