GlossaryAlopecia (HP)

refers to hair loss from areas where hair normally grows

Alopecia refers to the partial or complete loss of hair from areas of the body where it typically grows, most commonly the scalp. It can be caused by a variety of factors including genetics, autoimmune disorders, hormonal changes, and environmental influences. There are different types of alopecia, such as alopecia areata, which is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss.
