Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where the body mistakenly attacks its own hair follicles, leading to sudden, round patches of hair loss — typically on the scalp, beard, or body. It is not contagious. Treatment recommendations depend on the individual’s clinical assessment, and outcomes vary between patients.

The pattern and progression of alopecia areata vary between individuals.
Some patients experience gradual hair loss, while others notice sudden changes — especially after a stressful life event.
Assessment may include:
The dermatologist will assess your condition and determine whether any additional investigations are appropriate.
Alopecia areata treatment options may be discussed during consultation. The dermatologist will assess your condition and recommend appropriate management based on your individual clinical needs. Suitability, risks, and expected outcomes vary between individuals.
During consultation, the dermatologist will assess your condition, discuss appropriate management options, and explain the potential benefits, risks, and follow-up recommendations where applicable. Response to treatment varies between individuals.
