    Glossary Relapse

    return of symptoms after a period of improvement

    Relapse refers to the return of a disease or condition after a period of improvement or remission. In the context of alopecia, it means that hair loss reoccurs after a phase where hair had regrown or the condition had stabilized. This can be triggered by various factors, including stress, hormonal changes, or discontinuation of treatment.
