Alopecia Areata in 21 yr old male

Alopecia areata affects 2 percent of the worldwide population. And although it doesn’t cause physical pain or make you feel sick, it can be a psychologically devastating disease. This autoimmune disease involves the loss of hair around the scalp, face and parts of the body. It can come on at any time, without warning. It’s commonly misdiagnosed as other types of hair loss, like androgenetic alopecia (also called male pattern baldness). But with alopecia areata, your immune system is actually attacking your hair follicles. So treatment plans have to address the autoimmune response that’s occurring.
