This study suggests that certain climate factors, particularly UV index and precipitation, may influence seasonal flare patterns in children with alopecia areata, especially those with atopic conditions.

In this retrospective study of 123 pediatric alopecia areata patients, hair loss episodes were most frequent in winter and showed significant correlations with air pressure and hours of sunlight, especially in non-atopic individuals, suggesting a role for climate factors in seasonal hair loss patterns.

This research review found that climate change exacerbates skin conditions like photoaging, inflammatory dermatoses, and skin cancers by causing oxidative stress and inflammation, suggesting that dermatological practices should incorporate environmental and multicultural considerations to optimize patient outcomes in diverse populations.

Environmental factors like temperature and nutrition affect hair growth, with humans showing seasonal hair growth differences.

In this study, researchers observed that alopecia prevalence varies in gray bats throughout the summer, with higher rates in lactating females, who also exhibit more severe lesions, but found no link between subcutaneous mites and fur loss.
