Alopecia areata (புழு வெட்டு)
Alopecia areata is a condition that causes round patches of hair
loss. It can lead to total hair loss.
Alternative Names
Alopecia totalis; Alopecia universalis
Causes (காரணங்கள்)
The cause of alopecia areata is unknown. Some people with this
condition have a family history of alopecia.
Alopecia areata is thought to be an autoimmune condition. This
occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body
tissue.
Alopecia areata is seen in men, women, and children. In a few
people, hair loss may occur after a major life event such as an illness,
pregnancy, or trauma.
Forms of alopecia include:
·
Alopecia
areata - patches of hair loss (திட்டு திட்டாக முடி கொட்டுதல்)
·

totalis - complete loss of scalp hair (தலையில் முழுவதுமாக முடி கொட்டுதல்)
·
Alopecia
universalis - total loss of all body hair (உடல்

Symptoms (அறிகுறிகள்)
Hair loss is usually the only symptom. A few people may also
feel a burning sensation or itching.
Alopecia areata usually begins as 1 to 2 patches of
hair loss. Hair loss is most often seen on the scalp. It may also occur in the
beard, eyebrows, and arms or legs in some people.
Patches where hair has fallen out are smooth and round in shape.
They may be peach-colored. Hairs that look like exclamation points are
sometimes seen at the edges of a bald patch.
In alopecia totalis, total hair loss often occurs within 6 months after symptoms first start.
Exams and Tests (
A scalp biopsy may be done. Several blood tests may also be done
to check for autoimmune conditions and thyroid problems.

However, some people may have a poorer outcome, including those
with:

·

(நீண்ட கால வழுக்கை)
·

or complete loss of scalp or body hair (உடல்

Treatment (சிகிச்சை)

few months with treatment.
For more severe hair loss, it is not clear how much treatment
can help change the course of the condition.
