Areata in Latin America
Alopecia Areata in Latin America. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune hair disease. It is characterized by hair loss in very localized areas of the head. In many cases, it can even affect other parts of the body, such as the beard or the eyebrows.
Although alopecia areata does not pose a health risk. In fact, it affects the self-esteem and well-being of those who suffer from it. For this reason, we recommend going to a center specializing in capillary dermatology to find a solution to this pathology.

Alopecia areata is a condition that occurs when the immune system attacks the hair follicles (roots) of the hair, causing inflammation and subsequent hair loss.
It affects men and women equally and can appear at any age. Especially in childhood and adolescence. Because they are the stages of life most prone to this pathology.
Some of the external factors such as genetic predisposition and stress, thyroid problems or hormonal changes determine its appearance.
what are your symptoms?
This type of hair loss is considered an asymptomatic disorder because it itself has no pre-existing symptoms. In this way, the patient suddenly develops one or several localized bald spots with inflammation and without scaling.
It is important to know that alopecia areata has different types:
Areata in single plaques: As its name suggests, it occurs when hair loss affects a single area of the head.
Multiple areata: The opposite of alopecia areata in single plaques. This occurs when hair loss occurs in multiple areas of the scalp.
Total areata: Occurs when hair loss affects the entire head.
Generalized areata: Characterized by hair loss on all parts of the body (head, genitals, armpits, beard, eyebrows and eyelashes).
