It can be confused with the most common form of alopecia, androgenic alopecia or pattern hair loss, says Lynne Napatalung, a dermatologist at Pfizer.

Unlike many of her peers, though, Alex has alopecia, and she pairs her trendy streetwear with her naturally bald head.

Researchers have found that a drug approved for rheumatoid arthritis helped a patient suffering from alopecia halt his hair loss.

Alopecia areata and morphœa have been observed associated with it.

I was handed along all the way from alopecia, which used to be called baldness, to zoster, which used to be known as shingles.

Alopecia areata is characterized by the development of round patches more or less completely denuded of hair.

Alopecia areata, on the other hand, affects both sexes with equal frequency, but affects them at different ages.
