Alopecia is the number one cause of hair loss in Black and African American women. If you've ever seen someone with bald, thin edges or temple hair loss you've seen alopecia's effects. Temple hair loss is usually caused by traction alopecia.
Insect bites. Tick bites have been reported as causing patches of hair loss that could potentially be confused with alopecia areata (Heyl 1982, Marshall 1966). The mild inflammatory response to the tick bite inadvertently affects hair follicles in the immediate vicinity and stops hair fiber production.
