Alopecia Totalis is a type of hair loss that results in the complete loss of hair on the scalp. It is an autoimmune condition, meaning the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own hair follicles. This can lead to sudden and patchy hair loss, and in some cases, it can progress to total baldness on the head.
While the exact cause of Alopecia Totalis is not fully understood, it can be triggered by factors such as stress, genetics, or other autoimmune diseases. Although there is no cure, some treatments, like topical medications and therapies, may help stimulate hair regrowth for those affected.
