    secondary problems that worsen an existing medical condition

    Complications refer to secondary problems that arise during the course of a disease or medical condition, making the original issue more severe or difficult to manage. For example, in the context of alopecia, complications might include psychological effects like anxiety or depression due to hair loss, or physical issues such as skin infections from frequent scratching.
