GlossaryCyclic Alopecia

hair loss occurs in recurring cycles

Cyclic Alopecia refers to a condition where hair loss occurs in a recurring pattern or cycle. This means that periods of hair shedding are followed by periods of hair regrowth, creating a repetitive cycle. It can be influenced by various factors, including hormonal changes, stress, or underlying medical conditions.
