Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune means that the body's immune system attacks the body. When alopecia areata develops, the body attacks its own hair follicles. A person's genetic makeup, combined with other factors, triggers this form of hair loss.
There are several different causes and patterns of alopecia. Alopecia areata is one type of hair loss. In the UK, it is estimated to affect about 15 in 10,000 people. Alopecia areata can occur at any age but most cases first develop in teenagers and children. At least half of the people with alopecia areata develop their first patch of hair loss before they are 21. Males and females are equally affected. The condition tends to be milder when it first develops at an older age. The typical pattern is for one or more bald patches to appear on the scalp.
