What Is Alopecia?

Alopecia is a medical condition that results in hair loss, which can affect the scalp, face, or other parts of the body. It can impact people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds, with a wide range of underlying causes.

Common contributing factors include:

  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Hormonal imbalances

Hair loss may appear as patchy bald spots or general thinning, and it often takes a toll on self-confidence and emotional health.
