What is it?

Hair loss, or alopecia, refers to the thinning or complete loss of hair from the scalp or other areas of the body. This condition can occur for various reasons, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, autoimmune diseases or underlying health conditions. There are several types of alopecia, with Androgenetic Alopecia (commonly known as male or female pattern baldness) being the most common.

Alopecia is an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles. It often begins with small, round bald patches on the scalp, and some individuals may experience itching during this early stage. In many cases, total hair loss can occur within six months.
