Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder characterised by sudden, unpredictable hair loss in localised patches on the scalp or other body areas. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
This condition can affect individuals of any age, gender, or ethnic background. While it is not life-threatening, it can have a significant impact on self-esteem and quality of life.
