Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles. As many as 6.8 million people in the United States are affected by this disease. About 20% of those people with Alopecia Areata have inherited it. Environmental factors, such as a virus or a stressful life event are the ways in which you may first notice the symptoms of hair loss. For some, Alopecia Areata, can progress to Alopecia Totalis, which is total hair loss on the scalp or in the worst case scenario, Alopecia Universalis-complete hair loss of the scalp and entire body.
So, what is normal hair loss? The average person loses about 100 strands of hair per day, in some cases, a little more. Some people may lose more hair during the change of seasons or after a surgery as well. In those cases, the hair will grow back, but if you notice more and more hair loss over the course of several weeks or months, then that could signal a deeper problem and you should consult your doctor for answers.
