The disease can begin in childhoodafter the baby has suffered atopic dermatitis. In addition, there are many other reasons that can cause complete or partial baldness.
Why does pathology develop?
Alopecia is a complex disease that can occur for the following reasons:
1. Hormonal disruptions in the body (thyroid abnormalities, menopausal syndrome, pregnancy, fungal infections).
2. Skin injuries (mechanical, radiation, chemical, burn).
3. Genetic predisposition.
4. Too much testosterone production.
5. Nervous breakdowns, tension, depression, stress.

7. Autoimmune reaction of the body. And in this case, the reason for this situation is unclear. Hair growth resumes only when the irritant that caused the problem ceases to act.
Signs of pathology
If you suspect that you have alopecia, the symptoms may appear gradually and not be expressive. Although sometimes signs can be seen very clearly. Symptoms include the following:
- too slow hair growth;
- The appearance of small areas of baldness on the head;
- Complete hair loss on the head, face and other parts of the body.
In principle, there are no other signs of this disease.
Classification of pathology
Alopecia is a strange disease thatdelivers a lot of inconvenience and discomfort both physically and psychologically. Naturally, aesthetically, such a problem looks ugly. However, we first consider what types of pathology are present.
So, depending on the severity, it is possible to distinguish such types of alopecia:
- focal (that is, hair falls out not everywhere, but only in small areas);
- universal (affects the whole body);
- total alopecia (hair falls out completely on the whole head).
As for the severity of the disease, the personmay lose more than half or less than 50% of hair. In addition, it is possible to distinguish such types of pathology as cicatricial (occurs under the influence of any external damage to the skin) and non-scar. The latter, in turn, can be divided into androgenic (under the influence of hormones), diffuse and already known focal.
Diagnosis of the disease
Before treating alopecia, it is necessary to make an accurate diagnosis. This can only be done by a specialist. Although the symptoms are very pronounced, they can signal more serious illnesses.
Naturally, a doctor can take blood tests from you.and all necessary smears to exclude cancer or other skin lesions (or internal organs). The specialist must collect the patient's history and establish the exact cause of the development of the pathology. Only then can you assign the appropriate treatment. Otherwise, therapy will be ineffective.
Stages of development of the disease
Total alopecia or other types of this pathology go through a certain path of development. There are three stages of manifestation:
1. Progressive. It assumes too rapid hair loss, and those lesions that are formed, can merge into one.
2. Stationary. At this stage, the lesions retain their shape. That is, the lesions are no longer increasing in size.
3. Regressive. This stage involves the resumptionhairline. This can be achieved more quickly if time is available for treatment. That is, a fluff appears on the head, which is gradually replaced by normal hair.
