    Glossary Ophiasis

    wave-like hair loss pattern around scalp's sides and back

    Ophiasis is a specific pattern of hair loss associated with alopecia areata, where the hair loss occurs in a wave-like shape around the sides and lower back of the scalp. This form of alopecia can be more challenging to treat and is often more persistent than other types of alopecia areata.
