Developing Process of Alopecia Areata

The essence of the illness is that by some external or internal influence the cells of hair follicles change, which the immune system consequently identifies as alien and begins to create antibodies against them, to destroy them. The immune system cells leucocytes attack the fast growing cells in the hair follicles, where hair is formed. Hair first stops growing and then falls out of bulbs. That may occur at any age and afflicts 1% of the population, most often children. The afflicted persons have small hair follicles, which drastically slows down their hair growth. People with alopecia areata more often suffer from thyroid illnesses, atopic eczema, allergic cold and asthma. Alopecia areata is not an infectious disease and is not caused by nutrition. Just as with many other health problems, it sometimes begins after a stressful event, but it doesn’t always have to be the case. It is not a life-jeopardizing illness and does not cause physical pain, but from an emotional perspective it can be very difficult. Alopecia areata is most often discovered while visiting the hairdresser because, in most cases, the initial loss is hidden. There are several signs and alopecia symptoms, including: - Patchy hair loss: Most individuals with alopecia areata first notice the condition when they begin losing round patches of hair. The patches are usually about the size of a quarter. Hair loss is often noticed by clumps coming out while showering or excess hair found on the pillow in a person’s bed. The hair loss may stop after the original patches are found or may continue until the person is entirely bald. It can occur not only on the head but also on the eyebrows, on a beard, on the arms or legs, etc. - Exclamation point hairs: The round patches of baldness on a person with alopecia areata are surrounding by short hairs that get narrower at the bottom, which causes them to resemble exclamation points. - Nail problems: Alopecia areata can also affect a person’s fingernails and toenails by causing “pitting,” which is tiny, pinpoint dents on the nail surface. Sometimes, the nails also develop white spots or lines, become dull rather than shiny or get a rough texture. In some cases, nails become thin and brittle to the point where they split or crack. - Recurrence: In some cases, the hair that was lost will grow back and stay. In others the hair loss is permanent or will come and go over the years. The specific of how much hair is lost and for how long can vary from person to person.
