What Is Alopecia: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, And Everything Else You Need To Know

Hair plays quite an important role in life, not just in our overall appearance but also in how we view ourselves. But what happens when we lose far too much hair? A drastic change like this can not only affect us physically but also mentally. One of the most common causes of this excessive hair loss is alopecia. Here’s everything you need to know about this disorder.

What is alopecia?

what causes alopecia

Alopecia is an auto-immune disorder that leads to a significant loss of hair. When your immune system attacks the hair follicles, the end result is hair loss. This can show up in any part of the body, but in most cases, alopecia affects the head and face. This could mean that you lose clumps of hair from the head and lose facial hair like your eyebrows and eyelashes. Apart from hair loss, alopecia also slows down the growth of new hair and that further leads to baldness.

Types of alopecia

There are three main types of alopecia.

  1. Alopecia Totalis – This basically means that you lose all the hair on your head.
  2. Alopecia Areata – This is the most common form of alopecia. In this, the hair loss happens in patches on the head or other body parts. You might end up with a coin-sized patch where you experience hair loss.
  3. Alopecia Universalis – This is a rarer type of alopecia wherein there is near-total loss of hair on the scalp, face, and body.

While in some cases the hair does grow back, in some others, hair fall can be a repeated occurrence. The extent of hair loss can be minimal or extreme and varies from person to person.

What causes this condition?

what is alopecia

An autoimmune disorder is caused when the immune system mistakes healthy cells for a foreign object and attacks them. In the case of alopecia, the immune system attacks hair follicles. Because of this, the follicles stop producing new hair which leads to hair loss.

While studies haven’t found a specific cause for alopecia, if you have a family history of alopecia or other autoimmune conditions, you could be at risk. Environmental factors could also trigger this disorder.

Symptoms you need to look out for

The major symptom of alopecia is hair loss. There are no other symptoms for this autoimmune disorder. In fact, a person suffering from alopecia is otherwise quite healthy. In some cases though, the nails are also affected.

  • Loss of hair in patches
  • Loss of hair on the face and other body parts
  • Pits and ridges in the nails

Treatment

hair fall

There is no cure for alopecia, but it can be treated. In milder cases, treatment is not necessary and the hair grows back by itself. In other cases, certain treatments are done for hair to start growing again.

While in no way is alopecia a life-threatening disease, it can cause serious anxiety. Since it has the potential to cause serious psychological problems, it is recommended to seek out support groups or medical help.

#EveOfTheMoment: @bawrijogan shares her story with us

I have loved dancing since I was a kid and started learning Kathak at 8. But as time passed, I lost touch with dancing. 

In 2017, the spark rekindled when I watched dance reality shows. But this time, I found a new love - belly dancing. I learnt belly dancing through TV, YouTube and Instagram. 

Belly dance is a non-conventional art form that society doesn’t accept without judgements. But my father, sister and brother-in-law supported and encouraged me to follow my passion. 

At first, I was apprehensive about belly dancing because I was conscious of my body and skin. I didn’t fit the standards society has for a belly dancer. But the more I practised, the more I fell in love with the art form. 

In 2021, I decided to learn belly dancing professionally. Back then, I had a hard time where getting out of bed was also a chore. However, belly dancing helped me deal with it all. It helped me grow confident and embrace my body and skin condition - vitiligo. 

Soon, I started teaching belly dance, conducting workshops and even had a chance to do a dance project with my teacher recently. 

For me, belly dancing is like meditation. It takes me to a different zone where I can express my feelings, be it sorrow or happiness, and I feel at peace. It is all about expressively channelising my emotions.

A one-night stand's primary notion is to have a pleasurable, casual night of sex and then never see each other again. When you make the decision to let your hormones rule over, an automatic fire develops. It's nothing to be ashamed of, despite the fact that many people might judge others for having a one-night stand. You will benefit greatly from owning your sexuality and taking the bull by the horns. Others find it difficult to have a little fun with a stranger, while others do. Let's find out whether one-night stands are your thing. - Madam Eve

The world is just healing from the impact of one of the deadliest viruses in recent times and the memories are still pretty fresh. So, Anubhav Sinha’s attempt with Bheed is commendable. The movie showcases thousands of migrants going back to their villages on foot post the Covid curfew announcement. From cycling to being stuffed in trucks, trollies, or any other available vehicles, people were desperate to get back home. But the harsh reality loses its impact in the storytelling with too many great ideas tied together loosely. Here is our review of Bheed starring Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Kritika Kamra, and Pankaj Kapur.

Unless you poke them in the wrong place, Pisces is one of the easiest-going water signs. The downside is that they may also be very secretive and start behaving cold and aloof when enraged. When something hurts them, they could not even tell you about it and keep acting unconcerned until they have a breakdown. So, if your Pisces partner is acting strange, here's why you need to be concerned. - @ravnoor_09, Features Writer
