ALOPECIA AREATA
Alopecia Areata is a long-term autoimmune disorder in which healthy hair follicles are mistakenly attacked by your body’s immune system. The outcome? Unpredictable, abrupt, patchy hair loss that usually affects the scalp but can also occasionally affect the beard, eyebrows, or even body hair. It doesn’t hurt physically, but it can have a big emotional impact.
Â
We at Rasa Derm are aware of how individual hair loss may be. For this reason, we provide cutting-edge, dermatologist-led treatments based on your alopecia areata pattern, severity, and stage.
An autoimmune disorder called alopecia areata causes abrupt, uneven hair loss when the body’s defense mechanism unintentionally attacks healthy hair follicles. Although genetics is largely responsible, a number of environmental, lifestyle, and health-related variables can cause or exacerbate this illness.
Your immune system may be more reactive from birth if you have a family history of autoimmune diseases or skin disorders.
Stressful situations such as illness, trauma, or loss can shock the immune system and cause unexpected hair loss episodes.
Conditions such as the flu or COVID-19 can cause your immune system to become overstimulated, which may lead to autoimmunity against your hair follicles.
Alopecia is more likely to occur in those with atopic diseases like eczema or asthma since these individuals frequently have hyperactive immune responses.
Variations in thyroid, cortisol, or sex hormones can cause immunological-driven inflammation in follicles and interfere with hair growth cycles.
In vitamin D and iron impair the structure of hair and the immune system, increasing the vulnerability of follicles to immunological assaults.
Chronic inflammation and a breakdown in communication between the immune and integumentary (skin) systems can result from poor gut health.
Processed food diets and irregular sleep patterns can cause immune system weakness, hormone imbalance, and systemic inflammation.
Progress and Things to Watch Out For
- Small, circular, smooth-skinned bald patches are early indicators.
- Hair may grow back and then fall out again under certain situations.
- Although they are less frequent, severe forms like Alopecia Totalis (entire scalp) or Universalis (entire body) can happen.
Your hair’s response to treatment might be significantly impacted by an early diagnosis. We advise speaking with our dermatologists as soon as symptoms start to show up because of this.
Our approach combines clinical precision with personalized care to reduce inflammation, promote regrowth, and support long-term hair health.
