    long-term autoimmune condition causing persistent hair loss

    Chronic Alopecia Areata (Chronic AA) is a long-term autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to persistent and often unpredictable hair loss on the scalp and other parts of the body. Unlike acute cases, which may resolve within a year, chronic AA can last for several years or even be lifelong, requiring ongoing management and treatment.
