Everything about Alopecia totally explained
Alopecia or
hair loss is the medical description of the loss of hair from the head or body, sometimes to the extent of
baldness. Unlike the common
cosmetic depilation of body hair, alopecia tends to be involuntary and unwelcome, for example,
androgenetic alopecia. However, it may also be caused by a psychological compulsion to pull out one's own hair (
trichotillomania) or the unforeseen consequences of voluntary hairstyling routines (mechanical "traction alopecia" from excessively tight
ponytails or
braids, or burns to the scalp from caustic
hair relaxer solutions or hot
hair irons).
In some cases, alopecia is an indication of an underlying medical concern, such as
iron deficiency.
When hair loss occurs in only one section, it's known as
alopecia areata. Alopecia universalis is when complete hair loss on the body occurs, similar to how hair loss associated with
chemotherapy sometimes affects the entire body.
Well-known people who have alopecia include
Pierluigi Collina,
Gail Porter,
Matt Lucas,
David Ferrie,
Patrick Stewart,
Charlie Villanueva,
Dave McPherson,
Cho Ramaswamy and
Duncan Goodhew.
