    long-term autoimmune condition causing persistent hair loss

    Chronic Alopecia Areata (Chronic AA) is a long-term autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to persistent and often unpredictable hair loss on the scalp and other parts of the body. Unlike acute cases, which may resolve within a year, chronic AA can last for several years or even be lifelong, requiring ongoing management and treatment.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present.
