    Glossary Diffuse Alopecia Areata

    autoimmune disorder causing even hair loss across the scalp

    Diffuse Alopecia Areata is a form of alopecia areata where hair loss occurs evenly across the entire scalp rather than in distinct patches. This condition is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to widespread thinning and shedding of hair. Unlike the more common patchy alopecia areata, diffuse alopecia areata can be more challenging to diagnose due to its uniform presentation.
