Alopecia Universalis is a rare autoimmune condition that causes complete hair loss across the entire body, including the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to sudden and total hair loss. This condition can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender, and its exact cause is still not fully understood.
Living with Alopecia Universalis can be challenging, both physically and emotionally. Many individuals experience feelings of self-consciousness or anxiety due to their appearance. While there is no cure, various treatments, such as topical medications and counseling, can help manage the condition and support those affected in coping with their hair loss.
