Circular hair loss
The hair growth disorder manifests itself in the formation of small, bald patches that can spread over the entire head.
Other forms can lead to the loss of all body hair (alopecia totalis).
The exact causes are not fully understood. However, it is generally assumed that the immune system reacts to its own hair roots.
Typical Course
Circular bald patches form, which gradually spread. In some cases, the entire head of hair is lost.
Causes of circular hair loss
Unfortunately, little is known about the causes of circular hair loss (alopecia areata). Scientists assume that it is a disorder of the immune system. For reasons that have not yet been clarified, the body’s defense system is directed against its own hair cells, which leads to a hair growth disorder.
There are indications of various triggers. Genetic backgrounds or allergic diseases could play a role. The occurrence of circular hair loss is frequently observed in these contexts. Stress could also play a role as a trigger, although this has not yet been proven.
