An autoimmune disorder that can lead to unpredictable hair loss, *Alopecia Areata is a skin condition that contributes to about 0.7% of all dermatology cases in India. People suffering from this skin condition get oval or circular patchy bald marks on the scalp, especially in the posterior occipital and temporal margins.
This condition is primarily reported in teenagers or people approaching twenty five years of age. Since this condition can severely impact an individual’s looks, it is advisable to visit an aesthetic hair care and skin care clinic on noticing early signs of this condition, as it is very much manageable.

Before understanding the preventive and management procedures for this condition, let us first try to understand the different kinds of Alopecia.
Androgenic Alopecia:
Also commonly referred to as pattern baldness, this condition can affect both men and women. In this condition, the hair loss happens in a particular pattern and mostly begins above the temples. Since this condition is mostly reported in men, it is also referred to as male-pattern baldness.
Telogen Effluvium:
In this condition, due to certain internal disorders, the hair roots are forcefully pushed into telogen or the resting phase of the body’s hair growth cycle. This condition can be acute or chronic, depending upon the amount of stress the body has been subjected to.
Traction Alopecia:
Incorrect tying of the hair by tightly pulling it back leads to this condition. This condition can be fully reversed if the individual is sensitized about the effects early on and remedial measures are taken by tying the hair loosely.
Cicatricial Alopecia:
This is a very rare condition but can be quite alarming as the hair loss in this case is permanent. Moreover, in this condition, the hair follicles are gradually replaced by scar tissue which looks quite ugly.
